Synopsis:
When Sir John Mills started shooting 16mm home movies in 1946, little did he realise that these hours of film would become a national archive treasure. Discovered during an attic clear-out, this extraordinary footage (spanning 25 years) has a cast list which reads like a `Who`s Who` of British Cinema - including David Niven, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Dirk Bogarde, Tony Hancock, Ralph Richardson, Rex Harrison, Tom Courtenay, Jean Simmons, Lionel Jeffries, Deborah Kerr, and of course Hayley Mills.
Never before has there been such an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the life of an actor, who without doubt is considered a legend in his own lifetime. The footage includes behind-the-scenes shots in colour from movies released in black and white, such as Dunkirk, Ice Cold in Alex, Morning Departure and Tiger Bay. Other films include Pollyanna, Swiss Family Robinson, King Rat, Sky West And Crooked and Scott of the Antarctic.

Like sitting by the fire side, chatting to Sir John. Looking at his incredible career, his life, his films with the added and unique perspective of his own home movie clips. Charming and unmissable.
