The Fox: The Harry Firth Story

In Australian motor sport, there was only one “Fox.” Harry Firth was perhaps best known as the first manager of the legendary Holden Dealer Team and mentor to the great Peter Brock. However Harry Firth’s story is much more than just that. Not only did he win the Armstrong 500 and Bathurst multiple times as a driver and team manager, he also won five manufacturer’s championships, four Australian rally championships, Round Australia Rallies and the Southern Cross Rally. Add to that his influence on several great drivers, his involvement in the development of the Cortina GT 500, the Falcon GT and GTHO, the Torana XU1, L34 and A9X – all without any formal qualifications – and you have a true legend of Australian motor sport. His is a unique story of determination, rare cunning and motor sport intuition.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
