Мир будущего, в котором все письменные издания безжалостно уничтожаются специальным отрядом пожарных-огнеметчиков, а интерес к книгам и их хранение преследуются по закону. Сержант Гай Монтэг слепо выполняет приказы по уничтожению литературы, но встреча с юной Клариссой заставляет его переосмыслить свою жизнь. Он становится инакомыслящим — отщепенцем в тоталитарном обществе, читающем только комиксы.

Воспитанный родителями в духе революционных традиций марксизма, он решительно вступает в бой за свою дорогую Леони, круглые сутки отравляя ее жизнь оголтелой маоистской пропагандой.

Based on a novel by Nigel Tranter, The Bridal Path is a light-hearted look at the somewhat unfortunate results that can come of the continued marrying of fairly close cousins in a restricted and remote community.

Gradually a love affair develops between them, and Prothero becomes dangerously blind to the responsibilities of his position.

The Kidnappers
Andrew McCleod
After losing their father in the Boer War, orphaned brothers Harry and Davy must leave their home in Scotland to live with their grandmother and cantankerous grandfather in Nova Scotia. The boys want nothing more than a pet dog, but their grandfather refuses to get them one. Then, when the brothers find an abandoned baby, they decide to keep it – but the foundling may not have been abandoned after all.
The Brave Don't Cry
Donald Sloan
The Brave Don't Cry aspires to the "feel" of a documentary, right down to the deliberate absence of background music. A mine in Scotland falls victim to a cave-in, trapping some one hundred workers. Rescue parties are formed as the tremulous families of the miners wait in agony. As in the actual incident upon which this film is based, the rescue is nip and tuck and times, but eventually successful. The faces of real-life Scottish mining folk are melded with the professional actors in The Brave Don't Cry, adding poignancy to this otherwise cut-and-dried film.
Green for Danger
Porter
In the midst of Nazi air raids, a postman dies on the operating table at a rural hospital. But was the death accidental?
I Know Where I'm Going!

Trapped by inclement weather on the Isle of Mull and unable to continue to her destination, Joan finds herself charmed by the straightforward, no-nonsense islanders around her, and becomes increasingly attracted to naval officer Torquil MacNeil, who holds a secret that may change her life forever.
A City Reborn
Scripted by poet Dylan Thomas, this affecting docu-drama recalls the incendiary bombing of Coventry on 14 November 1940. The film focusses on reconstruction and morale: we see the city's rebirth through the eyes of a young local couple planning for their future, and an engineer interested in the new housing drive. This is one of several 1940s films introducing cinemagoers to the good old 'prefab'.

McDougall
