Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Getting Over It. DESCRIPTION: Although the Forth Railway Bridge was build seventy years ago, motorists can only cross the Firth of Forth by the car ferry. But now, it looks as if in the not too distant future, they’ll be able to cross more quickly, for work on the new road bridge is well under way. When this sixteen-million pound bridge is finished, motorists in Scotland will really be taking the high road. SHOTLIST: Key scene to GV Forth Railway Bridge. MLS same.
