A very well put together programme, of the style BBC2 don't get to do any more. They did comparable ones of Fellini, Truffaut, etc, a whole range of European film directors.
The host, Gavin Millar, BBC presenter of the era, from Glasgow, himself died just a couple of months ago. I briefly met him during my time in Edinburgh, right when this program was made.
Excused for being in this thread by, firstly, shots of a Sikorsky S-51 helicopter in US Air Mail service, and secondly some very contemporary, for their time, 1975 shots of the brand new Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, with its iconic and bizarre architecture, and that haunting PA opening jingle the airport used. A passing Caravelle even gets a very brief moment to itself - but you will have to watch it all through to catch them.
