Linda McCartney, pressed into musicianship by her famous hubbie, came up with a reggae-flavoured song. Paul worked on the arrangement, Wings recorded it, and it was released in the name of Susie And The Red Stripes. And sank without trace. It has subsequently popped up here and there (most recently on Linda's posthumous album Wide Prairie), but without commercial success. This is a shame, for it is a cheery bit of summery reggae inconsequentiality.
And it graces this terrific little film which was nominated for a BAFTA and won the Palme d'Or for best short film at the Cannes Film Festival. Animation/direction is by Oscar Grillo, who adopts a bold style - primary colours, strong lines and shapes, cartoony yet strongly representational, as the simple story of a young girl's day in the seaside sunshine unfolds.
This is a delightful little film.
