Quote:
"Miss [Evelyn] Spice has successfully attempted, in Weather Forecast, to condense a complicated series of incidents into an expressive pattern. She shows us the reception of weather reports at the Air Ministry, the sending out of a gale warning through the co-operation of the Post Office and the B.B.C., the arrival of the gale, and the eventual return of fair weather; and she does it so well that all this becomes, for the spectator, a clear and graphic experience, reinforced by the film's clever and original use of sound effects and fragments of dialogue. A particularly promising aspect of Miss Spice's work is that she does not attempt, in the older documentary tradition, to impose on her facts a romantically personal interpretation. Instead, she enables a world of daily routine to come to life on the screen, so that it speaks not with her voice but with its own."
