Men of Tomorrow - Britmovie

Bobbie · 20-02-2008, 11:05 AM

Hi Everybody
I did post this query on here a very long time ago but hey people come and people go so there may be someone on here now who has some new information
The film I am looking for is Men of Tomorrow (not the 1932 Robert Donat film!) it was released in 1958/9 (sites vary) and was a british movie featuring the young David Hemmings. It was directed and co written by Alfred Travers. I did find out who the production company were but they had gone out of business long since
I know it wont have been released on dvd or video as it was only a b movie but I just wondered if anybody knew of anywhere that I could try and hunt next
Thanks

First port of call should be the BFI. It's not mentioned in the British Film Source book, but it is now a bit out of date. Since DH passed on, it's possible some material has come their way, either documents, film, or both. If they do possess a viewing copy, you will be able to hire a viewing room and watch it on a Steenbeck.

Thanks for your reply and advice Penfold. I will try that next.... I am beginning to think that this is in fact a lost cause. Wish me luck
