INTRODUCTION this booklet is the work of many people who have been associated with the National Film Theatre during the past eight years. Apart from the contributions which are credited in the text, there are critical assessments by Lotte Eisner (Cinematheque Francaise), Penelope Houston (editor of "Sight and Sound"), Gavin Lambert (lately editor of "Sight and Sound"), Ernest Lindgren (Curator of the National Film Archive), Rachael Low (film historian and author), Liam O'Laoghaire (Film Acquisitions Officer of the National Film Archive), and Karel Reisz (film director). We take this opportunity of thanking them for their work which has helped so much to bring this present series of National Film Archive programmes into existence. In addition, these programmes could also not exist without the active co-operation of the entire film industry. Particular assistance has been given for the present series by : Associated British Picture Corporation Ltd. Avon Distributors Ltd. British Broadcasting Corporation. Contemporary Films Limited. Mrs. Frances Flaherty. Harold Lloyd. Paramount Film Service Ltd. Rank Film Distributors Limited. Robin International (London) Limited. Twentieth-Century Fox Film Co. Limited.
