Look At Life was Rank's replacement for their newsreel in British cinemas, that ran between 1959 and 1969. Over 520 films were produced, all running around 8-10 minutes in length. The films were a light documentary style, and used a very wide variety of library music, in a similar manner to contemporary newsreels.
All but a handful of the films have been re-issued on DVD by the sadly missed Network Video label, over 8 volumes.
I have begun to try and log the use of music in these marvellous films, and wondered whether there would be any interest in this information here.

That sounds like a good idea. =)

I like any projects compiling tracks used in old productions- it's good to archive theis stuff if you have the knowledge and Shazam can really dent things and get you started now with a number of labels fully dititized (by no means all).
