International Monetary Conference in London, 1947.
General view of the conference with Hugh Dalton in the chair, speaking (natural sound). He talks of the magnitude of the reconstruction task and says the reconstruction effort may soon be set back because of the lack of means to continue essential imports. He talks of the effect on the world economy.
M/S of Dalton speaking about international trade being the key to recovery and how several nations are in danger of economic collapse and social dissolution. A photographer kneels in front of Dalton to take his photograph.
Cut to Dalton starting the meeting and welcoming the delegates of the International Monetary Fund and Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Cut back to Dalton's main speech as he talks of unsettled political conditions and the 1930s depression shaking confidence in international commerce. The bank hopes it can help to restore that confidence through reconstruction. He says the meeting is being held under the shadow of the international economic emergency that now prevails. He mentions the discussions being held in Paris. He calls upon the Governor for France to address the meeting and then chats to his secretary sitting beside him.
L/Ss of meeting breaking up as we hear Dalton's secretary and another man congratulate him on his opening statement and Dalton asking 'Was that alright?'. Fascinating bit of chit chat! Delegates get up and move off.
Cataloguer's note: Mr Dalton has a very engaging voice and manner - he sounds a bit like Sir Alec Guinness!
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
