About Smashing Telly

"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. ~~Not 30 second clips~~ (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.

Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

A classic documentary from one of the greatest architecture critics. This film was made in the same year as Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour wrote ‘Learning from Las Vegas’, heralding the birth of the Post Modern architecture movement. Its a better legacy than the buildings that were subsequently produced.

Running time: 52 mins.
