Fair Rent
Writer
The nice young couples rent dilapidated rooms from mean landlord & lady until the appeal to the rent tribunal gets their rent cut by six shillings.
Dover, Spring 1947
Director
Dover made over: this quirky and pointed public information film reveals how the heavily-bombed and shelled Kent town was being replanned after the war. The filmmakers cleverly and entertainintly capture our attention by opening on travelogue cliches that they quickly undercut. It's not white cliffs and rolling hills they want to tell us about. It's present-day Dover - remaking itself in the crisp freshness of a postwar spring.
