All That Glitters
Release Date: 13th September 1957
This documentary covers the production of Aluminium Foil, its uses in everyday life and in modern technology and how dependent we have now become on this metal for our convenience.
A visit to one of the largest printing and lithographic works in the world. An interesting look at how the machines work and how much skill is still involved in this industry.
A look at the manufacture and design of wallpaper. This film explores the problems and complex intricacies which are not widely known but provide some interesting viewing.
The Royal Mint, responsible for coinage design and banknote printing comes under scrutiny here in a quite fascinating film which explores in depth the history and traditions of this long established and important British institution.
A visit to a carpet-weaving factory shows how intricate a process the making of a carpet is and how specialist the machines have to be to produce them. This film not only looks at the modern day methods of carpet weaving but also traces its history from before the industrial revolution through to the modern day.
Hull and North Sea fishing are featured – with pictures of an early “Harry Ramsden’s Fish & Chip” restaurant. A film about fish capturing the life of the fishermen of England. A visit to the aquarium at Aberdeen is a virtual "eye opener" in as much as the exhibits are all denizens of the deep, very few of which are ever seen behind glass.
