Synopsis:

No french review yet:
The highlights are The Idol - a recently married woman's 'phantasy' occasioned by the gift of a statuette from an ex-lover - and Betty's Bath, in which our unfortunate heroine is trapped in the bath by a rat. Rescued by a passing stranger, Betty then has to deal with the man's unwanted attention - she proves far more adept at ridding her house of this rat! Jazz Babies tells how the strip poker-playing girls of Mrs Scrivens' Finishing School are chastened by the unfortunate appearance of Mrs Scrivens herself. 'Young ladies, this is a finishing school and you are all finished!' she declaims. The collection was found about 30 years ago next to a hand grenade in an air raid shelter in West Hampstead, the reels of film stored in canisters hidden either from the bombs or from prying eyes. The vision of people whiling away the hours watching these films whilst hiding from an air raid is probably fantasy - there was no electricity in the shelter for one thing. But it is still interesting to see that they were counted among the valuables that needed protecting. They have been much viewed over the years so the quality of the pictures is not great, but that doesn't detract from the viewing experience. We commissioned an original soundtrack for these intriguing films from leading folk musician Jamie Smith with a brief to push the boundaries of silent film accompaniment in an accessible way. We think he's achieved that and more.
