Lots of footage of fish, fishing boats, fishermen, fish market and working in a quarry. Plus the fishing village of Mousehole, where the sun always shines. Only one entry and a couple of distant backgrounds ![[Image: 05-17bus.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/05-17bus.jpg) ![[Image: 05-34car.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/05-34car.jpg) Link to "busesonscreen.net" |

PS Apparently Bill Blewitt![[Image: bill.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/bill.jpg) was genuinely a Mousehole fisherman (and local postmaster as well) when this was filmed, but after his screen debut here became a bit of an Ealing Studios filmstar during WW2 - http://www.theguardian.com/film/2009/mar/13/the-saving-of-bill-blewitt , http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0088338/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm |
