British film stars and directors I didn't think I had anything film related until I found this set of cards published in 1985 showing a series of stamps representing British Films.  For some reason some have scanned better than others so my efforts (in vain) to improve that, added to the impossibility of uploading images to Blogger last night, have made me even later than usual.

1985 was declared British Film Year in an effort to encourage cinema attendance which had been declining dramatically in the years before.  It had some good success in that admissions rose to pre-1981 levels and continued to rise for another 10 years.

Looking at these pictures brings back many memories, and just seeing Peter Sellers puts a smile on my face and the Pink Panther tune in my mind. Posted by Sheila @ A Postcard a Day at 18.2.12
