The Marshall Plan
Posted on 28. Apr, 2009 by admin in blog
Listening to start the week yesterday there was a really interesting bit on films that were made in the late 40s and early 50s promoting the Marshall Plan – that’s a tough gig! Apparently there were over 250 films made and still counting as they unearth more gems. One film intrigued me, a Halas & Bachelor ‘cartoon’, called the Shoemaker and the Hatter: how did it go about promoting this riveting subject? I had a browse on youtube to find out, but no luck. But I did find this film, New Town, about town planning. Gosh, the future looked good back then. You can see the Marshall Plan films at The Barbican .
