Brian Winston, in his last book (*Claiming the real*, 1995), wrote that the interview "becomes, after *Housing Problems*, a staple of the Griersonian documentary" (p. 142). I had nevertheless the (false?) impression that the Griersonian documentaries from the 30s to the end of the 40s rarely used the interview. Does anyone have any example of such documentaries, especially those before 1945? More generally, I would appreciate any comment or reference on the beginning and development of this canonised documentary form in the 40s and the 50s. Thanks.
