What a ruddy brilliant talk! Thank you Carol Morley and the panel for bringing #MurielBox to life. May is going to be very Box-y indeed: you can find me BFI if you need me ❤️
Who knew Thora Hird had such beautiful handwriting? #MurielBox kept this letter from her - now in the Muriel and Sydney Box collection at #BFINationalArchive .
Brilliant #PostWar film by #MurielBox about family threatened with #demolition for #FestivalOfBritain #comedy but with great scenes of #London Carol Morley free on BFI
Congratulations to Carol Morley for her fearless campaign to get the work of British filmmaker Muriel Box rightly recognised in her own country & the forthcoming BFI retrospective whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default… #murielbox #bfi

RIP Glynis Johns (1923-2024) a wonderful actress with many brilliant performances. Glynis and Donald appeared in the 1954 film 'The Beachcomber', directed by #MurielBox and co-starring Donald Sinden, Robert Newton and Michael Hordern. #GlynisJohns
The inimitable Ada Reeve is terrific in #MurielBox 's 1956 thriller Eyewitness. Box adored working with her and wrote in her diary about Reeve's eventful life. Don't miss it: 26 May 6.10 BFI Southbank. #BFINationalArchive treasures.
#MurielBox still the most prolific British female film director, tho Sally Potter is catching up! About to see Street Corner, Box’s 1953 film about a new phenomenon- policewomen. BFI - season all through May. Carol Morley Directors UK
Last chance to see #MurielBox on the big screen BFI Southbank tonight, 30 May, with two of my favourites: Street Corner at 6.20 and The Passionate Stranger at 8.30. Here she is directing Peggy Cummins in Street Corner (Still from #BFINationalArchive )
The Happy Family was #MurielBox 's first solo feature and is showing BFI Southbank on 20 May at 3.15. In May 1952, it was the first talking picture seen by Mr O'Shea of Tottenham who was taken to the cinema with his huge family by charabanc. #BFINationalArchive treasures.
