Furnival and Son (1948)

Coming back from the war, young Furnival must choose between his fathers struggling steel firm or the big, prosperous company that has offered him a job He tours his old city while making up his mind Made for the Board of Trade by The Central Office of Information its unclear just who the intended audience was, I can only guess it was for other returning warriors who wondered where they might fit into the new order of the rebuilding city Thats the fascinating bit, particularly if youre a woodworker or knife aficionado that revels in the presence of genuine Sheffield steel products Seeing the various foundries hard at work is a bit of steel geek heaven For cinephiles theres not a lot of new ground covered but, for what it is, its competently done and not painful to watch Cinematography is quite good and its definitely a snapshot of a time and place that is long gone
