dsl ◊ 2018-07-07 00:37	36 minute film made for TV about the rescue of the Fairfields shipyard after bankruptcy with new production, management and union procedures and agreements which later became the (in)famous Upper Clyde Shipbuilders amalgamation, taken from Tales from the Shipyard BFI 2-dvd collection. Can't find a full copy online but various snippets around. A very political/propagandist report which was famous for never being broadcast and for being the only film directed by "The Greatest Living Scot" Rejects: - Jag S-type; Bedford TK artic and MG 1100 - Riley 4/72 or 4/68 Other stuff: - product placement for Connery - running gag as a reminder of "the greatest upset in Scottish cup football" ... which was a brave thing to do in Govan, the Rangers heartland. Connery was a Celtic fan, although later decided to switch his allegiance to Rangers. Even "The Greatest Living Scot" could not escape derision for trying to change sides like this. ... a Swedish mermaid for ingo and weasel to fight over -- Last edit: 2018-07-18 02:21:18
dsl ◊ 2018-07-08 00:05	The final film I'm posting from the Tales from the Shipyard BFI 2-dvd collection. Some of the others have vehicle content, but only casual 1 background glimpses and nothing I thought essential. For someone with a ship fascination, it would be an excellent DVD set and is a worthy tribute which has been expertly compiled to a now vanished industry. But for a casual ship interest it's probably too specialised and repetitive, and one of the less essential BFI compilations.

Tales from the Shipyard BFI 2-dvd collection. Can't find a full copy online but various snippets around.

A very political/propagandist report which was famous for never being broadcast and for being the only film directed by "The Greatest Living Scot"

Rejects:

- Jag S-type; Bedford TK artic and MG 1100

- Riley 4/72 or 4/68

Other stuff:

- product placement for Connery

- running gag as a reminder of "the greatest upset in Scottish cup football"

... which was a brave thing to do in Govan, the Rangers heartland. Connery was a Celtic fan, although later decided to switch his allegiance to Rangers. Even "The Greatest Living Scot" could not escape derision for trying to change sides like this.
