Like other COI fillers, this short is more revealing of contemporary British society than they might have wanted. The nice young couples rent dilapidated rooms from mean landlord & lady until the appeal to the rent tribunal gets their rent cut by six shillings. The commentator tells us that it's not fair for people to profit from the housing shortage emphasizing divisions in the country. Men with ties come to the rescue of the poor timber worker in the open neck shirt. Crisply filmed and effectively covered, it's all pretty chilling.
