A discussion between
Rose Macaulay, John Betjeman ,
Sidney L. Bernstein , and John Grierson
Tonight's discussion should be fair as well as sparkling. We may expect some drastic criticism from Rose Macaulay, who can be very devastating about modern institutions, and John Betjeman , who used to write notably lively film notices before he began giving broadcast talks about architecture. The cinema should be worthily defended, however, by Sidney Bernstein , one of the most enterprising of exhibitors, and John Grierson , who put Britain on the map with documentary films. Among them they may solve the difficult question of finding out what is wrong with a form of entertainment to which people flock in their millions every week.
