  • Product Description
    This new selection from the BFI celebrates Richard Massingham as one of British cinema’s most fascinating and enduring eccentrics.

    Though largely unknown now, Richard Massingham was recognisable to anyone who went to the cinema in Britain during the 1940s – starring as a well-meaning but bumbling everyman in a series of imaginative shorts. These provided instruction to the British public on everything from how to cross roads to the correct way to sneeze into a handkerchief to bathing in just five inches of water during wartime rationing.

    Often serving as producer and director as well, his films marked by a wonderfully inventive combination of comedy, instruction, surrealism and whimsy. This new selection from the BFI celebrates Richard Massingham as one of British cinema’s most fascinating and enduring eccentrics.
