Royal weddings were a favourite subject of British newsreels from the First World War right through to the late 1960s. The British Universities Film and Video Council publishes a set of microfiches which lists the contents of every issue of the five national newsreels (not a detailed shotlist, but the title of each "story"); this might be a good place to start. But if you'd like a couple of off-the-wall feature film examples... DIE NIEBELUNGEN (Germany 1924, dir. Fritz Lang) Kriemhild's wedding to Siegfried, in which Brunnhilde sulks in the background plotting the latter's death UN CHAPEAU DE PAILLE D'ITALIE (France 1927, dir. Rene Clair) A wedding which degenerates into chaos after the groom is implicated in a scandal (including a sequence in which a bridesmaid slams a piano lid down on its incumbent) L __________________________________ Leo Enticknap Postgraduate Common Room School of English University of Exeter Queen's Building, The Queen's Drive Exeter Devon EX4 4QH United Kingdom email: [log in to unmask] ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite
