Once A Jolly Swagman
 The Opening Titles
An update on "Once a Jolly Swagman" from Alan Hodkinson of Viking Video:
You may be interested to know I have produced a Video and DVD of 'Once a Jolly
Swagman', it was done mainly for members of the VSRA as a tribute to Ron Howes
who did the riding for Dirk Bogarde.
It starts with an interview with Ron Howes and then an interview with Bill
Owen and then goes into the film.
It was never produced for general sale but if anyone needs a DVD or Video they
can be had for £11.50 inc. P+P.
Details from Vikingukvideo@aol.com
"I am amazed a Dirk Bogarde film is not available! It must be around somewhere. I think this would be of interest to anyone who likes sports history. Which stadium was it filmed at? Who were the real riders who took part?"
"I videoed this film many years ago when it was shown on Channel 4. It is a great nostalgic look back at the early days of speedway."
"I remember seeing the film as a lad, back in Liverpool. It was just at the time that Stanley was still operational, and I enjoyed it. I have recently bought a copy from Amazon, at about the same price as that at Viking.....although it did take some time for Amazon to find it for me. Good sense of the occasion, and it was filmed at New Cross. Good for afficianados of the sport."
