A British Transport Film.

Red double-decker buses are one of the main features of the streets of London, but to the citizens of continental Europe, accustomed to single-deckers, London's R T buses are Leviathans. It was as an appropriate symbol of Britain that London Transport sent two of its newest buses to accompany the Made In England Exhibition which toured Switzerland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The film follows the buses through Zürich, Heidelberg, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö, and shows some of the incidents which the London drivers will remember from their crowded goodwill tour.

This film shows us a world of wildlife and flowers and scenic beauty within easy reach of London - where people can enjoy yachting on the Thames, or archery at Sevenoaks; riding in Knole Park, or morris-dancing at Westerham; walking over the hills near Newlands Corner, or cricket on the green at Cookham; where they can admire a wealth of historic buildings both large and small - Windsor Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Farnham Keep, the Dickens' houses at Rochester, the Roman ruins at Verulamium; or they can just sit in the sun while the children play.

Between 1950 and 1953, a dam was built in the unspoiled landscape of the Doubs. It was a prestigious Swiss-French project. The film begins with idyllic images of the “Saut du Doubs” and goes on to document the construction stages from the felling of the first tree to the finished weir. Guest workers lose their lives in the process – and the production of the film was probably not entirely risk-free. What is the price of our electrified world, how much destruction of nature is acceptable? These are questions raised by the witty voiceover in the film. Questions that are still thought-provoking 70 years after the filming of “Le châtelot”.

As the narrator says, Larry's extra-squeaky-clean hygiene habits--something psychiatrists nowadays call obsessive-compulsive disorder--"are what give him such self-confidence!"
