A Tribute to Dylan Thomas

Directed by
Runtime
30 min
Documentary

Synopsis

This atmospheric tribute honors the genius of Welsh poet and dramatist Dylan Thomas, incorporating many of the windswept locations where Thomas grew up and found inspiration. The film is hosted and narrated by Richard Burton, a close friend of Thomas, who appears periodically amidst the Welsh landscape. Burton had previously appeared in Douglas Cleverdon's acclaimed BBC radio dramatization of Thomas's "play for voices" *Under Milk Wood* in the 1950s, and later in director Andrew Sinclair's film adaptation of the same work in the early 1970s, playing the role of First Voice. The film was preserved in 2000 by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation and the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
