Notes

This film was made under the supervision of Michael Abercrombie who was the primary investigator in the laboratory at the time.
Almost identical in content to the 1955 Abercrombie and Ambrose film 'Cells in Culture'; this film is better quality (less magenta). The films are synchronous for approximately the first 3 minutes 30 seconds then divert to streaming of packed group cells (1955) and formation of contacts (1958). At 6 minutes 32 seconds/9 minutes 30 seconds the films resynch at the mouse muscle sequence and then later digress. The later 1958 film has the additional section on the epithelium.
