Flicks in the Six
(Firstsite, Colchester)

East Anglian Film Archive.

Selection of mostly dully informative 1950's black-and-white information films set in the county of Essex, with occasional noticeable diversions and recognisbale locations. Fairly mundane and Harmless on the whole, although one instalment, In Need of Care* (GB 1958), about local orphaned children, touches upon some of the darker issues with some poignant moments, and another is an amusing William Tell semi-satirical skit about litterbugs.
