Lots Of Places To Go
boblipton25 May 2023
Various British housewives are shown taking a day off from home drudgery to refresh themselves with a change, whether it be a museum, a trip on the ferry, or bargain hunting in town. All of them use British Transport to get where they're going.

It's a short subject for British Transport, with the various women shot wild -- that is, without sound -- while MacDonald Hobley speaks about where they're going and what they enjoy.

It's a fairly subtle bit of industrial film making, with the narrator speaking about everything except what this film is about: the ubiquity and ease of all the government-supported means of getting where you're going.
