Shellarama

Shellarama. Richard Cawston, 1965.
😸
Edition screened: Included in the BFI 4-DVD set Shadows of Progress: Documentary Film in Post-War Britain 1951-1977, released 2013. English language. Runtime approximately 14 minutes.

Summary: No depictions of violence or harm to animals.

This PR film from Shell Oil begins with several scenes showcasing the wonderful improvements oil derricks make on otherwise unspoiled land, and I feared this featurette was going to be as offensive as BP’s Skyhook. But Shellarama shifts gears quickly and becomes a Cinerama-style travel adventure, hence the cutesy name.
