Interesting film--many of the clothes look so matronly. I'd take "Cinema" though.

I got lost in the other BFI offerings on You Tube--Two Cooks and a Cabbage by the Ministry of Information for the Ministry of Food for example, or Tea Making Tips. Christmas Under Fire (1941) did it's propaganda job by making me tear up. Lots of treasures here including early color films.

interesting that you thought they were matronly, he was Elizebeth Bowes-Lyons ( the Queen mums designer for decades) well spotted

Thank you for these links...

I so appreciate the YouTube links for the Tea Tips and Norman Hartnell 1938 fashion. We're a tea party family here, and the clothes from 1938 are amazing-wow. I'm saving the Christmas under Fire for later today...
