A tourist advert


Waverley Steps: A Visit to Edinburgh (1948)

Directed by John Eldridge this short film is made up of a series of scripted vignettes. We see various people going about their lives in Edinburgh over a 24 hour period.

Well constructed the stories here are not overly interesting but do show a slice of life in a busy city. Working better as a tourist film than a piece of entertainment this is still a decent look at history. Not overly remarkable but watchable.

3/5
