Catherine Cookson - South Bank Show (1982) 1/2
-
Description
Melvyn Bragg presents a documentary film about and by Catherine Cookson, who looks back at her troubled childhood, how this created her as a person and how she overcame her problems. A very personal film, but with a keen insight into how environment for a young child was a key influence throughout its life. Her childhood was dominated by her ma Kate, but seemingly she didn't have a da, and in those days - start of the C20th - illegitimacy still cast a long shadow. The sound and image quality are not all they could be, I'm afraid, and in a couple of sequences it is difficult to hear Catherine's narration because of other soundtracks used in the film. I do not own any copyright on this film, it was on an old vhs tape, and if the originators of the film wish me to remove it I will do so. I think it's a very moving and informative self-documentary. -
