The Royal Wedding In Colour: Hrh Princess Elizabeth & Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten
This amazing film of the Royal Wedding was shot by the late Jack Cardiff, a pioneer cameraman working with the then new Technicolor process in the 1940s. It contains never-before-seen footage in full colour of the processions at Westminster Abbey and afterwards at Buckingham Palace of the wedding of HRH Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in the autumn of 1947. This ‘lost’ film becomes available now due to the fact that a copy was given by Jack Cardiff to his friend Ralph Pulley, who worked at Technicolor after the war. It has remained in the Pulley family ownership ever since and its importance was only realised when a conversation took place between Ralph’s daughter and Stanley F Mazur, film producer and owner of Celtic Arrow Media. This film has not been digitally enhanced, the footage and soundtrack are as per on the original and it provides a wonderful reminder of the times and people involved in this momentous event
