Nightlife


(Robin Lehman/1976/USA)

Nightlife is a light hearted, eleven minute look at marine life under the Irish Sea with the footage edited to the rhythm of the soundtrack to choreograph the creatures into a visual dance with good comic effect. You won’t learn anything about the nature onscreen but that’s not the point, it’s more about eliciting some smiles and maybe a few exclamations of wonder along the way too. It seemed very familiar to me and I would hazard a guess it aired on RTE TV on more than one occasion during my childhood of the late 70’s and early 80’s and I have most probably seen it before!
