“WE LIVE BY THE SEA”
Shipowners’ Film
Shown
About 300 guests, including the Mayor of Christchurch (Mr George Manning) attended a screening of "We Live By The Sea,” a film produced for the New Zealand Overseas Shipping Lines, at the Winter Garden. Filmed in colour, the picture shows the ocean transport of New Zealand primary produce to England. Scenes on a North Island sheep farm are shown, and some of the best shots are of New Zealand ports and of other harbours on the Panama route to the United Kingdom. A personal touch is added by the inclusion of shots of a Scottish sea captain, his son (the master of a ship trading with New Zealand) and his daughter (the wife of a New Zealand farmer). The theme of the film is the importance to the New Zealand economy of the shipping industry, and the personal and commercial links provided between New Zealand and the United Kingdom by the New Zealand overseas shipping lines.
Guests were welcomed to the function by Mr G. F. Phillips, local chairman of the Overseas’ Shipowner’s Committee.
