| The Blue Lamp (1949) |
Yet another interest of ours, film. This page is more history of film than anything
else, so for this reason we've avoided mentioning, in some cases, for very good reason, the so called blockbusters and
the box office boffos, there are exceptions, of course, and they have been noted. If you, the viewer are at all interested
in the history of film, then this page is for you. We'll try and uncover some of the more obscure examples of film and as
we find them, we'll add the links , along with references to the studios, both large and small, as we find their links
we'll be sure to add them, so bear with us. Braveheart and Michael Mann's production
of The Last of the Mohicans have also be accorded their own
pages on our fast expanding History On Film website, along with some other films which deal with different periods of human history....Anyway,
despite the somewhat British slant on film and studio, we hope you enjoy this page, and, the whole site, of course. Be
kind to one another......
The Cinema Show
Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal.
She dabs
her skin with pretty smells
Concealing to appeal.
I will make my bed,
She said, but turned to go.
Can she be late
for her cinema show?
Romeo locks his basement flat,
And scurries up the stair.
With head held high and floral
tie,
A weekend millionaire.
I will make my bed
With her tonight, he cries.
Can he fail armed with his chocolate
surprise?
Take a little trip back with father Tiresias,
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through.
I have crossed between the poles, for me there's no mystery.
Once
a man, like the sea I raged,
Once a woman, like the earth I gave.
There is in fact more earth than sea.

but for all intents and purposes,
an Ealing Comedy.

older British film, it was hard to
resist including Terry Gilliam's
masterpiece, so here it is

a classic Ealing Comedy
(1938)

British mystery chiller
