Iris Alder (IA-95-079)

An extract from Iris Alder's letter

Early in 1995, Iris Alder (b.1924) saw a request for 1930s cinemagoers to get in touch with Cinema Culture in 1930s Britain and responded with a letter in which she writes about her early years in London, where she saw Madeleine Carroll, Herbert Lom, and other British film stars in the flesh; about moving to Hampshire during the war and frequent visits to the cinema there; and about her enduring appreciation of wartime British films. Later in 1995, Mrs Alder took part in CCINTB’s postal questionnaire survey; attached to her completed form are lists of the stars and films of the thirties that she remembered (see IA-95-079PW001 below for links to scan and transcript).
