Words for Battle (1941) [Short]

UK (MIFF1995,Buried Treasures - Humphrey Jennings)
Director: Humphrey Jennings

Eight minutes of movie magic. We see con­temporary (1941) footage while we hear Lau­rence Olivier recite an idiosyncratic selection of English literature and the Gettysburg Address to the music of those sterling Teutons, Beethoven and Handel.
