Boswell in London

VHS ISBN 978-0-89113-164-9

Through use of a video technique known as chromakey, the cast appears to move through lavish period paintings of London that bring the 18th century to life in this co-production of Yale University Films and BBC-Scotland. (1 hour 52 minutes). This program shows the brash, well-born young Scot energetically seeking to crash London society, and the historic meeting with Samuel Johnson and their developing friendship.
