Default Jill Craigie's films
Does anyone have (or have a suggestion for how I might find) any of the films of Jill Craigie (1911-1999)? I'm particularly interested in The Way We Live, her 1946 documentary about Plymouth; Blue Scar, her 1949 drama about a coal mining community in South Wales; and "To Be a Woman," a short documentary she made in 1951 about women's pay. Unfortunately, I'm in the States, so I don't have access to the BFI, but if anyone can provide copies of these films, I'd be happy to trade, or alternately, if you have suggestions for where I might find copies to view without travelling too far from New York, I'd be much obliged.

Many thanks,
Tom

Blue Scar is a terrific film....good luck in finding it. I've never seen it screened other than in a cinema, at a Welsh Film event; I don't think it has been released commercially or TV-shown.
Bit of a Bay Window, what??

How do you get links to say the name of the thread instead of the total url?
You can type them in with the markup rather than using the button

You should type in something like
[url=<Address>]<Display>[/url]
where <Address> is the address (URL) you want it to link to
and <Display> is what you want the link to display
