We've been talking about films of AR on the Pathe newsreel site, but there is also a couple of short films out there of Roger Altounyan- looking every bit like an older version of the Ships's Boy- talking about his discovery of the drug Intal, for the treatment of asthma. Looking at them, it's astonishing how accurate AR seems to have been in depicting his character.
Those films used to be on a Wellcome site, then Rhone Poulenc, but I can no longer find them on line. I'm sure that others here might be interested to see them.
I saved them ages ago, and they consist of two Quicktime movies, one 3MB and the other 5.4MB. I seem to remember that there was an upload site for material like this, but my link to it no longer works. I can easily attach them to anybody who'd like them, but is there some central place I could put them?
