Very moving. Apologies from the US for not joining the UK earlier to defeat fascism. Unfortunately, nazi sympathisers like Lindbergh and his "America Firster" bastards delayed our entry.

Apart from the apochryphal opening, this is cinema at its finest. It's such a shame that Jennings' has been so neglected. Thanks so much for posting and addressing this.

this film was rescued and reprocessed from old celluloid films recently found, there are over 40000 of them in total and a project to try to save the material before they all disintegrate into dust.
