An hour in the Huntley archives.

Film historian John Huntley provides a guided tour of his film archive, containing 30-40,000 items,in his house in Islington. Huntley first collected film, and a small projector, at the age of ten, and later worked as a tea boy in the Denham studios under Alexander Korda, then in sound recording. He describes the technical innovations which changed film, and particularly the way sound was recorded, e.g. in tap dancing sequences, and in making the voice of Hamlet's ghost down a drainpipe. There are numerous recordings from 100 years of films,
