Gentlemen, The Queen (1953)
Overview
Compiled in 1953, this is a scrapbook-style documentary about Britain’s Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. It charts her transition from childhood to womanhood and from Princess to Queen. Footage includes the Coronation of King George VI, Her Majesty’s first broadcast, her engagement to Prince Philip and their wedding, as well as her experiences of the war captured on newsreel. With voice-overs by well known British figures, this is both an insight and a tribute to Britain’s much-loved Monarch.
