Painted Boats (1945)
Las familias Smith y Stoner llevan sendas barcazas por la intrincada red de canales que sirve de vía de comunicación a la industria británica. La película -documental y ficción al 50%- traza la historia de los canales y su importancia en tiempo de guerra -se rodó en 1944- al tiempo que relata los afanes y los días de los tripulantes de las barcazas entreverados con una delicada historia de amor entre Ted Stoner y Mary Smith.
Directora: Charles Crichton
