THE ROMANCE OF AIR TRAVEL IN THE 1950S
In dramatic terms this film is poor,stiff characters ,stiff upper lips but the film is a history lesson for those of us who imagine that in the past there was a golden age of civil aviation.
This film is a semi documentary film about a day at London's Heathrow Airport.
It features beautiful old aircraft such as Constellations and Stratocruisers and groovy old jeeps and fire engines.
If you were studying the history of London you could look at this and POOL OF LONDON,SAPPHIRE and other films directed by Dearden.
Channel 4 UK are showing this today 18/9/2008 and tomorrow they are showing THE GOOD DIE YOUNG another British film partly et at Heathrow.
