There is an unfortunate tendency, especially on films-for-television, to use older film without regard for the quality of its format. It looks bad, as it did in Sing the Song: it was not just Belafonte who looked ‘stretched’, it happened to my own particular icon, Paul Robeson.
Moreover, it shows a lack of respect for other filmmakers. In this documentary the extracts included not just Television footage, but features, newsreels and documentaries.
