Two soldiers in uniform look at a painting of General Montgomery. We then see the artist Augustus John at home and at work. Various good shots of John painting, sketching and enjoying his garden. John smokes a pipe throughout.
John uses a special device with a long handle to prune some trees. A young boy joins the artist in the garden - he is John Cole, the son of Mavis Cole. Mavis is the subject of John's current painting. John shows the young boy a book he is reading.
Mavis looks out of a window as John shouts up to her that he is ready to begin painting. We follow him up a staircase to his studio. His house is of a modern design. M/S of Mavis as she walks up the stairs. She sits in a chair in the studio and we see John at work and Mavis posing. Good travelling shot over John's paints and brushes which are scattered over a large table.
The artist and his model are seen in silhouette against a large window. Good shots of the two of them as the painting takes shape. Mavis has a rest - she sits on a window seat smoking a cigarette.

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.
