Cuts (rushes, out takes) for stories in CP 342. The original stories are on Pathe Master tape *PM0149*.
01:07:55 to 01:12:24 cuts for story ROMAN FEAST in CP 342. Mostly similar footage to that in cut story. Several different shots of the people at the party; Sir Michael Redgrave is seen eating a bread roll - just like a normal person! He is also seen being fed some wine in a bowl by a Roman maid; then making a face as if to say "What was in that drink?!". Various other feeding and eating shots. A Roman soldier is seen pretending to film with a movie camera (not cine camera but more professional type). A man in distinctly un-Roman trunks and swimming hat steps from the baths and holds his hands up to applause. Panning M/S of a table of Roman food, labelled thus: flamingos [sic] brains, sows udder, dormice and nightingales tongues. A hand picks up a dormouse; looks like it's covered in bread crumbs - none of the food looks real. Some interesting, different footage.
01:12:24 to 01:18:17 cuts for story MISSILE FIRING in CP 342. Mostly similar footage to that in the cut story. A different sequence shows several army trucks in a field with a kind of satellite dish; a soldier peers through a viewfinder; the dish is tilted into position. There is better footage here of the missile / rocket taking off than in the cut story, though it is still a rather brief shot.
01:18:30 to 01:24:23 cuts for story SKI-ING IN ENGLAND in CP 342. Similar footage to that in cut story. Different sequence shows men putting on skis on the man-made slope. There is also a nice but brief shot of the twin towers of Wembley Stadium, presumably taken from the top of the ski-jump.
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.
On June 4 1913, suffragette Emily Wilding Davison made her way in to the history books when she fell under the hooves of George V’s horse at the Epsom Derby. But was it intentional?
From well-constructed and contrived quips to completely natural and seemingly spontaneous comments, there's something fascinating about people's last words.
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.
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.
