Inhalt:
Filmed among the ruins of The Crystal Palace Terraces, 'The Pleasure Garden' is a playful and poetic ode to desire, and winner of the Prix de Fantasie Poetique at Canne in 1954. Made by the American poet James Broughton, the film features Hattie Jacques and Lindsay Anderson, with John le Mesurier as the bureaucrat determined to stamp out any form of free expression. Lovers of the history Crystal Palace will find much to treasure in this 1950s time capsule of a fim, which shows the Crystal Colonnade and the bandstand (both later demolished), the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Memorial, and much of the statuary which was to be auctioned off in 1957. The history of the Crystal Palace also comes alive in 'The Phoenix Tower', presented here as an extra. This rare 1957 film, about the building of the BBC Transmission Tower, was of a number of short subject colour films to be shown on BBC2 as a 'test trade transmission', and has become something of a 'lost' film since.
