I'm Not Here

A film about shop assistants and boredom, inspired by a letter Sir Alec Guinness sent to The Times in 1970.

Comedy 1994 14 mins

Overview

In January 1970 the actor Sir Alec Guinness wrote a letter to The Times complaining about the lack of attention shop assistants gave to customers. The letter was printed under the heading β€˜I’m Not Here’. Using that story as its inspiration, this film about shop assistants and boredom wittily combines extracts from a Harrods' training video and original footage from 'Miss London Stores 1970'.
