A Day in Liverpool

Anson Dyer

"A Day in Liverpool stands as probably the first film production specifically about Liverpool, rendering it as a place with a particular identity, character and international status. The opening shots, showing Pier Head with its ensemble of architectural landmarks - the Liver Building, Cunard Building, Port of Liverpool Building (locally known as the Three Graces) - not only developed visual icons synonymous with Liverpool, but helped set in place a moving image language indispensable for subsequent film productions promoting the city." - Richard Koeck
