Citation :
« I should like to call your attention to a small film that should appear shortly in one of the West-End theatres. This is 'Weather Forecast,' a two-reel documentary made for the G.P.O. Film Unit by Evelyn Spice, who has been quietly plodding along in routine work for the Grierson outfit ever since it grew from two rooms to two floors in Oxford-street, under the auspices of the Empire Marketing Board. Miss Spice is one of those remorseless women who learn and learn, and go on learning until they really know, and then give you the results of those assimilative years in a statement so simple and comprehensive that you wonder why there should ever have been a difficulty about it. Her present explanation of the real facts behind the weather forecast as we hear it nightly over the wireless is beautifully clear and sensible, and it is completely free from the documentary film's besetting sin of self-consciousness. »
