Fascinating travelogue from 1924 of a road trip from Land's End to John O' Groats.

Mainly concieved as an ideal marketing tool for his nascent colour film process, whereby alternate frames were tinted red & blue/green, Greene's journey brought the countryside to life, revealing natural colour to an audience used to black & white. Originally intended to be shown weekly in cinemas, the 26 short episodes combine to form a unique social document of life in Britain between the wars.
