An unabridged version of the utterly brilliant documentary “Night Mail” (1936), complete with Auden reading a famous poem written for the occasion 🗃️ #skystoriansyoutu.be/KTEZ25sQGmc?...
Night Mail 1936 (UNABRIDGED FULL DOCUMENTARY)
At long last, the famous and beloved classic is finally here! Until now, only remixes of the rap from the end were on YT, so I took it upon myself to upload ...
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing footage, Thank You.
Auden wrote the poem, but the two voices heard in the film belong to John Grierson ('Down towards Glasgow she descends...') who was head of the GPO Film Unit, and Stuart Legg (who does everything else).
