Cuban High Society (1950) Boleros de Cuba cantan: Eydie Gorm

They dress their daughters in the latest Paris fashions, and expect women to appear in mink and sables in the hottest weather. Although the local society reporter makes a good living describing their parties in glowing terms, most of the top affairs need no embellishment. La Condesa de Camargo last year fortified her position as Cuba"s first lady of society by decorating a party for her niece with 5000 dozen gladioli banked along the fence around her home, but Havana is still talking about the ball she gave 20 years ago for which 500 pheasants were flown in from the US. Cuba's season of pomp and extravagance is shortlived.
