Kind hearts and coronets ?

Zulu?

Psycho?

No to all - all between 30 & 50 years out....

30 years before kind hearts and coronets (1949) places us in the time of silent movies which were mostly American. So, another stab in the dark - was it the first moving film in colour brought out in 1902 and marketed by Charles Urban ? Then a massive success but now only viewable in the National Media Museum in Bradford.

The Battle of the Somme - 1916 watched by 20 million people

That's the one - a documentary & propaganda film that included actual footage of the lead up to, and early days of, the battle - the only scene that was staged was one where troops were crouched ready to go 'over the top'. The public were so eager to see footage of the battle that half the population flocked to see it.

Over to you...

Yes - that'll do. It's the only resort on the East Coast whose beach faces west - which is the same thing. Told you it was easy.
