Manchester Can Take It (1941)

Title reads: “Manchester can take it“. Despite the Blitz, Manchester still puts on its usual Circus. Various shots of a circus ring with clowns, acrobats, horses and a lion trainer (Captain Tommy Kayes) performing their acts. Several cut-ins of the audience which is mainly children. Narrator comments: “It takes more than a maniac with a door mat under his nose to stop Manchester’s fun“. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
