Gorrard 1736 7 « (Member of Federation of Documentary Film Units) 'The Blackheath Film Unit, who would scarcely claim to be educational specialists, have produced in Sugar from Britain a film that has practically everything for the serious geographer. If there are any to complain that the pace is too pedestrian, the content too factual, they would be of the type that subconsciously expects in the classroom the fireworks and fantasy of the local cinema. For those who believe with me that in education, at least, we should have good wholesome bread with our circuses, Sugar from Britain is the right sort of food. 'In the first place, the subject, the production of beet-sugar in this country, is of paramount importance. Then the presentation is beyond praise. From first shot to last, from the sowing of the beet seed to the weighing and packing of the sugar, the camera has been carefully placed to impart maximum clarity to the point at issue; and whenever photography is inadequate, diagrams are inserted. The accompanying commentary completes an ensemble of thoroughness and substantiality, explaining a process here, adding a few statistics there. There is enough information to satisfy the most exacting requirements.' From Look and Listen's review by W. G. Moore, BSc.
