Description: Written and presented by John READ. Producer Rosemary BOWEN-JONES. Film tribute broadcast 7 September 1986. John Read presented extracts from his six previous films on Moore and provided personal reminiscences of the artist he had known since childhood. Read notes Moore's fame and prodigious output, based on a world tradition of sculpture. Read learned from the artist about camerawork and the basics of art. He describes the working routines at Much Hadham and Moore's interest in education. He notes the paradox that Moore found fame not through figures in the open air but from shelterers trapped and enclosed underground in the dark of the War Drawings.
