Brooklands Films

Brooklands enthusiasts would do well to flock to the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, at 7.30 p.m. on Bank Holiday Monday, May 27th, when the feature film “Death Drives Through”, made at Brooklands in 1934 and discovered in the vaults of Elstree last year, will be shown. Additionally the programme will include other rare newsreel material of Brooklands between the wars, scenes of the Paris-Vienna race of 1902, the first Le Mans race in 1906, the 1914 French Grand Prix and fascinating scenes from other old feature films, including “Lucky Devil” (1925), “Lizzies of the Field” and an amusing fragment from a Flanagan and Allen comedy of the 1930s which also features Brooklands.
