Movie Short about democracy |
Back in the olden days, TV stations would run a movie short to fill a gap between the end of a movie and the new scheduled show. I am trying to find one about British legal reforms being the precursors of our (USA) own founding documents. Two or three 'Yanks' meet a British Guy in London. The Britt shows the guys around and while on an overlook of London, points out government buildings and tells them how changes to those governing bodies were important building blocks to our Constitution, Bill of Rights etc. Does anyone know of this film and maybe where I could find it? Thank you

Re: Movie Short about democracy |
I don't believe "The Liberty Story" is it. From what I saw on Disney.com, that movie is about a specific, historical guy and takes place a long time ago. The one I'm looking for could, I guess, be called a PSA of sorts. It and others like it were filmed like a movie. That may sound strange, but in the 60' and before, TV produced items were MUCH more different than Movie style productions. I believe Movie Production companies made them, then leased them to TV Stations as fillers to round out airing times to nearest 1/2 hour. This was before virtually every movie was chopped to pieces to fit an existing time period. These styles of shorts were about anything (Government, History, People Buildings,etc.) that might appeal to people (with the exception of current events). Thank you very much for your post and if you come up with anything else, please let me know. John
