Abstract
The Crown Film Unit produced some of the most famous documentary films of the Second World War, including such productions as Target for Tonight, Listen to Britain and Fires Were Started. It continued making films for the post-war Labour government until it became one of the first casualties of the new Conservative government early in 1952. This article examines and concludes that its eventual demise was caused by such mundane factors such as cost overruns, poor organisation and a collapse of creativity rather than as a result of a Conservative-inspired political vendetta against an internationally acclaimed socialist propaganda machine.
