It says here that seals are cleverer than horses! Well, they were clearly not bright enough to turn down the month’s supply of mackerel they we given to star in this curious observation piece set in a Californian swimming pool. It’s a sort of indoor/outdoor construction that is populated by scantily clad, peroxide, nymphs who are clearly having a fun time splashing about in the summer as if preparing for the swimsuit round of a Miss America competition. Then the aforementioned mammals make their appearance and put the aquatic skills of their human counterparts to shame as they lithely navigate this not very deep pool with aplomb. Next it is the turn of the men to show off their prowess, but apart from a promising but ultimately disappointing attempt at a “69” from two speedo-clad youths on a diving board, they too are easily outclassed by the seals who do that altogether better too. Possibly because they are more used to rubber? There is no natural sound which is peculiar given the amount of splashing and frivolity going on and the musical soundtrack is bizarre. It’s terrible, too, but mainly just bizarre. Was it intended as a silent film? Couldn’t they get a waterproof boom? Had the budget all gone on factor 40 and herring? Anyway, it won an Oscar beating both the much more exciting “Spills and Chills” and Pete West’s send up of unwanted dinner guests, but hey - maybe some of these poolside players were well connected in Hollywood? The seals, perhaps?

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".
