British Council Film: Gardens of England (1941), Directed by Michael Hankinson.
An entertaining chance to look back at gentler times, dreamily anthropomorphising white and red roses into sworn enemies, watching ordinary folk read the newspaper, a cameo by a Canadian soldier, a Thames lock turned into a miniature Kew Gardens, ‘suburban streets are bright with tidy front gardens’, and the ‘inborn love of the englishman for a garden.’
