Lindsay Anderson was the director who introduced the world to Malcolm McDowell in IF... but today is associated with little else. Originally he were a director of industrial shorts, which included this film that were in a can on a shelve for three years before he finally got it released. What we got here is a pure, narration-less view through the famous Dreamland park of Margate. One fine Sunday where the plain citizens of Kent are out to get their money's worth from the few rides, gambling pits and various more, or less, unexplainable sort of stands. Very unusual to see today is a grand-guignol like exhibition of mechanized puppets. The images entirely speaks for themselves and are very impressionable at times.
I wonder if there had been any freakshows at the Dreamland around the time? I would've love to see some of that, but there wasn't any in this short. It is all still a very nice piece though, that shows a part of a world that is so very much different today. We should all be thankful that someone chose to document ordinary event like this.
Thank you Mr. Anderson, wherever you are!
