Waverley Steps: A Visit to Edinburgh (1948)

Waverley Steps: A Visit to Edinburgh (1948) - Drama Movies 31 minutes. . Waverley Steps - subtitled ‘a visit to Edinburgh’ - is an evocative minor classic. John Eldridge’s film takes the semi-documentary form of a collage of scripted vignettes, at first disconnected but gradually overlapping. With visual grace, and a certain wit, the film entwines a coalman’s working day with students’ revels by night, the proceedings of a court with the rituals of a courtship.
