Dolgelley 1945


Dolgellau surely never looked as idyllic as in this picture-postcard film. Bathed in sunshine, its iconic stone buildings and lovely square with its ivy clad hotels, hint nothing at the world war so recently ended, and the filmmaker, his wife and family members stroll happily about the town and its lush environs. The Welsh ladies of the Idris Dramatic Society provide a fanciful historic backdrop!
