Look At Life: Volume 3

MovieMail Ltd Product Information
A compilation of 45 digitally restored films from the documentary series Look at Life - a series produced in the 1960s 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 British life. The film collected here offer fascinating insights into varied aspects of scientific progress and innovation that have benefited the British way of life, with many unseen since their first screening. Disc 1: Follow the Stars: There are many who follow the stars. Some believe they can indicate the future, while astronomers spend their nights observing the heavens through the great telescopes at Jodrell Bank.   A Marriage Is Arranged: How a marriage between steel and plastic is successfully forged at British steelworks.   Channel Tunnel: A visit to the trial tunnel and a look at all the scientific research necessary.   Healing Hands: The onward march of surgery - and the dedicated research behind the scenes of medicine.   Testing Time: A film about all the different things that need to be tested in Britain today.   Making a Meal out of It: A film looking at various aspects of food, visiting research laboratories as well as taking a look at food from the turn of the century.   Press-Button Age: Every day is another step into the press-button age; this film shows how our lives are increasingly regulated by automation.   Flood Tide: How the ceaseless battle with the sea is being fought with the aid of the Flood Warning System.   Men with Ideas: A film providing a fascinating insight into the machinery of patenting.   Mystery of a Fish: From the River Axe in Devon, scientists catch every young salmon that swims downstream in an effort to map this species’ incredible voyage.   Rockets Away: A film exploring the research being done on rockets, for both peaceful purposes and defence.   The Little Menace: A study of what is being done in medical research.   Trouble on Oily Waters: The dumping of oil waste in the sea has created a new menace along Britain’s shoreline.   Any Old Iron: This film turns the spotlight on the people who prepare salvaged steel for re-use, and on the steel foundries which melt it down again.   Caught in the Cold: Every year, Britain gets caught in the cold; cities crawl to a standstill, and road and rail traffic is disrupted. Why does this happen in an age of scientific miracles?   Disc 2: Figure It Out: The story of computers, from electronic tape and punched cards, to austere-looking robots.   Keeping Clean: An interesting look at the new mechanised way of cleaning.   The Destroyers: Pests come in all shapes and sizes, from the woodworm and grain weevil to the homely city pigeon. This film shows the research which goes on to control them.   Backroom of the Sky: At Boscombe Down, on the edge of Salisbury Plain, every part of a new plane is tested, and it is then flown to its operational limit. Not only are the aircraft tested, but also the men who fly them.   People of Power: A close look at the operation of the Berkeley Nuclear Power Station.   Second Chance: This moving film shows an achievement in which science and humanity have combined to give the 100,000 people in Britain who have lost a limb, a chance to live happy and useful lives.   Key of the Door: A look at the educational centres where training in technical subjects is aiming to keep pace with the demands of this scientific age.   You Can’t Catch Much from Fish: ‘Look at Life’ went to see what the six months compulsory quarantine means to the 3,000 dogs and 500 cats, brought into Britain each year,   Men Under Pressure: This exciting film shows the work of the men who build tunnels below water level, and the scientific and medical care that ensures they suffer no ill-effects from their unusual occupation.   Fings Are Getting Smaller: Taking a look at how everything is being reduced in size in the new compact age.   Salute the Engineer: More and more engineers are needed to keep pace with developing industry; this film offers a glimpse of the wide range of jobs they undertake.   So Much Flattery: Few realise how far the art of imitation has developed.
