MR. H.D.S. HAROIE
ALICE FILM
You will be interested to know that during my visit to Swaziland last week I was able to prevail on Mr. Bill Mummery, who heads up the Swazi TV Company, not to show the Alice film.
He had viewed a copy after attending an international conference
on TV progranrnes available for sale. Fortunately, he approached
Mr. Hodgkinson for advice on the matter last week and the latter
was quickly able to arrange a meeting with me. After a full
discussion, he agreed that it would not be a responsible act to
show it in Swaziland. It would do no conceivable good and
would be highly likely to do a great deal of harm. In so far
as it would not only be an embarrassment to HAM(S) but also-to^
the Government, there would almost certainly be a backlash on the
Company.
v
I was given a firm assurance that it would not be shown.
