Today in Britain 1964 Narrated by the journalist James Cameron, ’Today in Britain’ offers a snapshot of the United Kingdom in the year that Harold Wilson became Prime Minister on the back of his "white heat of technology" speech (although he never actually uttered that specific phrase). There’s much emphasis on Britain’s inventive genius, not just in the atomic era but also throughout its history, as seen here in this whistle-stop, partly-animated guided tour. (Michael Brooke)The complete film is one of 32 included in the four-disc DVD box ’Shadows of Progress: Documentary Film in Post-War Britain 1951-1977’ - http://filmstore.bfi.org.uk/acatalog/... - which is part of ’Boom Britain’, the BFI’s celebration and reappraisal of postwar documentary filmmaking in Britain: http://www.bfi.org.uk/boombritain.html
