Smoke stacks making fat stacks


Industrial Britain (1931)

Directed by Robert J. Flaherty and Edgar Anstey this is a short documentary film. We see the level of industry in Great Britain.

Essentially this is a marketing or propaganda piece that is pretty upfront about it's agenda. As a historical record I'm sure there is merit to this film but it's not the greatest piece of entertainment ever. Not a terrible watch but this does not stand out from similar documentaries of the period.

3/5
