Long-form analysis of voting sheets used at the Erith conference, 22nd sept 1963, with regard to 11 selected films. Three votes were taken: whether the films were suitable for National Viewing Sessions, the delegates own societies, and personal reaction; the analysis is mainly ‘concerned’ the future of film societies when “Boulevard” does so well and “Desistfilm” so badly. Annotation reads “Philip Crick is happy to print this (with any suitable revision which you care to make)”
