Pictures (1983)
Pictures was a sequel of sorts to the 1981 British miniseries Flickers, which enjoyed great success on both sides of the Atlantic. Whereas the earlier program dramatized the formative years of the British motion-picture industry, this sequel covered the years between World War I and the Great Depression, when the silent cinema was at its zenith. The various interrelated characters, employees all of the movie business, weathered such crises as the "invasion" of autocratic German directors and the "talkie revolution" following the release of Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer. The seven hour-long installments of Pictures first aired in the U.K. in 1983. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- Starring:
- Anton Rodgers, Peter McEnery, (more)
- Director(s):
- Carol Wiseman
