The big screen follow-up to Betjeman's Britain. NOTE they are not the same film as the IMDb page states. Betjeman's Britain was made the previous year by Anglia Television with more poems, a higher budget, and sadly it shows. However, like its predecessor, this charming little film again united some of the great names of British film and television in a format that has since been several times imitated, though perhaps not bettered.
As one critic of the time put it 'records for posterity an England that is all to rapidly disappearing' - and now has! Film buffs may be interested to know that the poems and music had apparently been recorded long before both films were made. So the pictures and performances had to be made to fit the words and music, rather than the other way around. Well worth a look, if you can find it anywhere.
