Excellent film quality! Len Lye- noticed some Man Ray- Lee Miller influences? Beautifully made. Want to learn more about Len Lye. What else has he done?thanks for posting!

[AllErikaEclectica]

I think you nailed it about Lee Miller and May Ray. Absolutely.

Post was often delivered the same day it was sent in the old days-at least in London.

[tjtesttesttest]

It was done that way in large cities in the U.S. too. Before telephones became popular, local mail was delivered two or three times a day.

Email just isn't the same.

And the moral of the story is: if you get your girlfriend's postcode correct then you could end up shagging her in the grass.

A lesson worth learning!

Great tonal values, etc. But without fats, I'd space out. (If it is fats)

[sclogse1]

I just did. Did you catch 'em?

Wonderful book to find is Cocteau on The FIlm. no one writes about film making like he does. Essential. Ever think that the world is a tuxedo and you are a pair of brown shoes?

I love the early versions of this song . What a treat. Great find and thanks for posting this.

[HondosPlace]

Hi folks, I enjoyed all the music in this film but when I said 'this song' before, I specifically meant the early version of " I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter". Cooool stuff.

I urge you all to watch the other BFI films as well. I subscribed to them and have enjoiyed the older early-1900 films for over a year. I Love-'em !!
