We have some NET PLAYHOUSE entry tapes from 1967-71, though other entries have only the paper entry form without a tape. This happened occasionally. The first submission in '66 was just a paper entry form for "An Enemy of the People", digitized by WGBH/AAPB: americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-...

Compiling Telenews clips and trying to i.d. unlabeled reels as I go. One is a clip of Izola Curry, who stabbed Dr. King in 1958, found by incl "cat eye glasses" in my search. Another is Elsa Maxwell at a bullfight in 1959. If you'd never seen Elsa Maxwell, how would you figure that one out?

HOLLYWOOD won a Peabody Award for Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, so we have their U-matic entry tapes here in the archives. This is one of the shows that made me want to become an archivist. Worth watching.

Will McKinley @willmckinley.bsky.social · 8d

If you’d like to celebrate #SilentMovieDay, all 13 episodes of HOLLYWOOD are on Internet Archive.

Kevin Brownlow and David Gill wrote, directed, and produced this 1980 documentary series for Thames Television/ITV, featuring a score by maestro Carl Davis.
