If you were thinking of buying BFI Films' "Design for Today" DVD, which highlights British product design from the 1940s through the 1980s, you may want to check out this clip first as a caveat. It begins with the bold statement "It is a film without words because good design speaks for itself," but as for whether or not that good design ever shows up...well, you be the judge:
Maybe it's just me but I was a bit disappointed by this clip, which focuses on 1965, and it's put me off acquiring the DVD. (If you've seen the whole thing and you feel it's actually good, please sound off in the comments.) Also, is it just me or did that toaster burn the crap out of the bread?
