Another Day, A Symphony of London Life

Begins as a "Day in the Life of London", but quickly becomes a story of romance on the London Underground as two Londoners meet while walking their dogs in Piccadilly Circus. The film features shots of the river Thames at dawn, Covent Garden fruit and vegetable market, and office workers crossing the river.

Directed by T.A. Glover, Another Day, A Symphony of London Life leans on a strong ensemble — Kent Stevenson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1939.
