Movie propaganda
49 up is the latest instalment in a ground-breaking documentary series which has become one of the most acclaimed long-term filmic studies of real people ever made. 49 up is the 7th film in a series of documentaries which began 42 years ago when Granada's World in action team interviewed a group of seven year old children for a programme called 7 up, based on the theme "Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man". The children have been interviewed every seven years at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and now at 49 on subjects as widely ranging as love, marriage, career, class and prejudices.

Theatrical report
Two-and-a-quarter hours is a bloody long time to be doing anything, let alone sitting in a seat in the dark with a bunch of strangers watching another bunch of strangers talk about their lives. Will be better on tv, whence you can have a quiet chuckle at the funny English people.
The documentary, UK movie 49 up is directed by Michael Apsted and stars Bruce Balden, Jacqueline Bassett, Symon Basterfield.
