RED AND BLUE

GB
1967
36mins
Dir: Tony Richardson
Starring: Vanessa Redgrave and John Bird

A cabaret singer travels to Paris for a nightclub engagement and recalls romantic episodes in her life

This was the ‘red’ story of a ‘portmanteau’ feature entitled Red White and Zero, the ‘white’ story was a film called The White Bus and the ‘zero’ part was a film called Ride of the Valkyrie (both qv). This dramatic short followed the British new wave movement of the time that seems some what outdated today. It features scenes of the ‘Night Ferry’ at London Victoria station.
