James Mason Film

Just out of interest has anyone seen the film by James Mason called `The London Nonbody Knows`, I`m told that its got footage of the back yard of 29 Hanbury Street, before it was knocked down, has anyone seen this film, is it worth tracking a copy down on?
Would like to hear from anyone whose in the know.
Gordon.

Hi Gordon

There is colour footage of the front and back of 29 Hanbury Street. The film was made about 1967 and in my point of view is definitely worth tracking down. 29 Hanbury Street is the only Ripper site shown and lasts for about a minute, but there is a lot of footage of historical places from all over London which you don't normally see in the guide books. And James Mason is always worth watching.

All the best

Rob

Gordon,
Here is a link on ebay of a copy of the film for sale.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3641930264&category=208
Don't get in a bidding war over it, This guy can run off more copies. I bought one last year. The quality of the dub is not the best but it is worth it to see the Hanbury street yard in color even though it is only a minute long.
If you still have troube finding one, contact me

Good Luck

Tom
