An affectionate portrait of Humphrey Jennings, documentary film-maker, artist, poet - who died tragically in 1950. An artist with a brilliant mind and a very personal vision, Jennings found his true voice during the heroic days of Britain at war, of which he became a faithful and poetic chronicler. His classic documentaries - Listen to Britain, Fires were Started, A Diary for Timothy - made him for many people the only real poet the British cinema has yet produced.' In addition to members of his family, those appearing include Lindsay Anderson, Marius Goring, Stuart Legg, Sir Roland Penrose, Kathleen Raine.
Commentary spoken by Paul Daneman

(Made in collaboration with the COI and the National Film Archive: first shown in the Omnibus series on BBC1)
