- Synopsis:
"Look at Life" was a regular series of short documentary films produced in the 1960's by the Special Features Division of the Rank Organisation and screened in their Odeon and Gaumont cinemas - replacing the circuit's newsreel, 'Universal News', which had become largely irrelevant with the advent of television news broadcasts. Marvellously concise and beautifully shot, these 'slice of life' colour featurettes - numbering over 500 episodes in total - presented cinemagoers with varied aspects of contemporary life in Britain and beyond. Transferred from the original film elements, this set presents 72 memorable films whose subjects range from the newly independent countries of Africa to life behind the Iron Curtain, from the Common Market to new industries in Ireland; offering a window on the world in a period of rapid change, many of these films have remained unseen since their first screening. - Narrated By:
