The Family at Home 1950

Family life in the post-war years: domestic scenes in Lancashire.

The focus here is on everyday family routines and communal activity in this beautifully shot film record from Lancashire. At their home, family members are called together for a meal. Two sons and a daughter enjoy a spot of piano playing and singing, while the father of the family and the children get to work in their well-cared-for suburban garden, weeding, watering, trimming, and planting.
