Synopsis:
This regular series of short documentary films was produced in the 1960's by the Special Features Division of the Rank Organisation to screen in their Odeon and Gaumont cinemas - replacing the circuit's 'Universal News', now rendered largely irrelevant with the advent of television news broadcasts. Marvellously concise and beautifully shot, these colour featurettes, numbering over 500 in total, presented cinemagoers with varied aspects of modern British life.
Newly transferred from the original film elements, this volume presents 64 films encompassing Britain's cultural heritage in all its forms and documenting a fascinating era of change - from the rebuilding of post-War Coventry to the traditions of the student rag, from the country's still-flourishing tradition of brass bands to its contemporary art scene.
