When Sir John Mills started shooting 16mm home movies in 1946, little did he realise that these hours of film would become a national archive treasure.
Discovered years later in an attic clear out, and seen here for the first time, this extraordinary footage, which spans 25 years, has a cast list which reads like a who's who of British cinema. Never before has there been such an intimate behind the scenes look at the life of an actor, who without doubt is considered to be a legend in his own lifetime.
The footage includes behind-the-scenes shots in colour, from movies which were released in black and white, such as Dunkirk, Tiger Bay, Ice Cold In Alex and Morning Departure. Other films featured include Pollyanna, Swiss Family Robinson, King Rat, Sky West & Crooked and Scott of the Antartic.
Moving Memories is an essential and unique addition to all classic film collections.
“A fascinating, charming and indeed unique glimpse behind the scenes of the life, work and times of one of Britain’s greatest film actors” – Barry Norman |
