Synopsis:
"Look at Life" was a regular series of short documentary films produced in the 1960's by the Special Features Division of the Rank Organisation and screened in their Odeon and Gaumont cinemas - replacing the circuit s newsreel, Universal News, which had become largely irrelevant with the advent of television news broadcasts. Marvellously concise and beautifully shot, these slice of life colour featurettes - numbering over 500 episodes in total - presented cinemagoers with varied aspects of contemporary British life.
Digitally restored from the original film elements, this volume presents 45 memorable films offering fascinating insights into varied aspects of British military life, with many unseen since their first screening. From the Black Arrows' daring acrobatics to military survival techniques and from sea mine clearance to the valour of Victoria Cross holders - this exceptional set features coverage of significant military achievements from throughout the 1960's.
