Summary:Made in 1947 by the Central Office of Information, the short is not so much a companion piece to "Drifters" as it is a remake, following as it does a similar fleet of fishermen throughout their working day (although a greater emphasis is placed on the selling of their wares). What proves interesting, however, is the differences between the two pieces, the most notable being its more conventional, educational nature. As such it makes for an unfavourable comparison point, but does at least enhance the qualities of Grierson’s work. This may not have Panamint’s intent, though either way "Caller Herrin’" proves an intriguing addition. [film.thedigitalfix.com]
