The Story of British Pathe: Entertaining Britain

Синопсис

An insight into Pathe's popular cinemagazines, which played in cinemas across the nation, and were initially conceived as a way to improve public morale following the end of the First World War. The programme examines the many strands of the initiative, including Pathe Pictoral and Eve's Film Review, which were designed to appeal to women, and the 1930s production of Pathetone Weekly - a format that took advantage of the arrival of synchronised sound to examine many aspects of life. Narrated by Verity Sharp.
