Listen to Britain
Humphrey JenningsDocumentaryUnited Kingdom194220 min
A portrait of Britain at war, but instead of the usual didactic commentary, the soundtrack is almost entirely composed of natural sounds. The 'positive message' about the unity of the British at war is all the more convincing because of Jennings's sensibility to the world of ordinary people.
