A Yesterday's Witness special
Pioneer film director George Pearson remembers the golden silence of the first British feature films.
Alfred Hitchcock tells how he broke that silence with Blackmail, Britain's first all-talking Picture.
And Alexander Korda recalls how he put British films on the international silver screen with Charles Laughton and The Private Life of Henry VM.
Benny Green takes an affectionate look at the first 40 years of British cinema; those long-lost days when a night out almost always meant a night at the pictures.
