Film Notes
Man’s Peril traces the fascinating history and politics behind the making of Good Times, Wonderful Times, a saga as daring and uncompromising as the story behind Come Back Africa. We discover how Rogosin and partner James Vaughan collected rare materials over a two-year period from war archives around the world despite enormous difficulties and financial pressures.
Rare footage of Bertrand Russell filmed by Rogosin but unused in the final film is here rediscovered and shown in historical context. A dialogue of the deep concerns that united Rogosin and Russell is created. We discover a new dimension and facet of Rogosin as a forerunner of political thinking and humanity in cinema.
