British Pathé has posted 85,000 films on YouTube. Since I don't have the time to look at all of them right now, I am counting on the rest of your to pore over them and post links to some of the best ones. www.youtube.com/user/britishpatheHere's a slightly topical one since the Grace Kelly movie starring Nicole Kidman will be opening the Cannes film festival in a week or two.

I know! I'm very excited. When I was a kid on the base in Germany, every movie had Pathé shorts beforehand, even the kids matinees.

Between 11 and 13 seconds into this clip, my father is marching across the screen, at less than half my present age, having just been captured as a prisoner of war on Crete in 1941. It is quite an eery feeling to see it (what must it be like for the children of people who have spent most of their life in the public eye?).

He should have waved at the camera! I think he might have been just the teensiest bit worried about what was coming next... My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam"
