i watched my copy bought through play.com last night ,what an incredible voice james mason had ! wish i had such tone and clarity in mine ,some of the "lives "etched onto the faces of the old east end charactors were as interesting as the buildings featured ,at one stage mason points out some "hi rise blocks" being built and some children playing and comments " at least these kids will be given a chance " ........oh dear !

Anyone that hasn't seen it, please do, it's a super little film.

I wonder if the flat cap, jacket, umbrella etc. was just costume or James Mason's off duty attire?

A very nice film and one I must get on DVD, even though I have downloaded all 5 parts from youtube, thanks for highlighting it, Kelp.

Another set of films I like very much are the Look At Life series, with a selection available on DVD about London which are entitled Swinging London. How things have changed.
