Your Lost Film
When Alistair Dunmore was tragically killed in 1965, the studios effectively died with him. He was a man of ideas and of unwavering conviction that he knew what made a good film.Not everyone in the wider world agreed but nevertheless, in early 1971, his widow Dee, put Dunmore's notebook up for auction.A huge fan of Crimea Street Films, Wally Wright, was the highest bidder and became the owner of ideas that Alistair didn't live long enough to see brought to life.
