Short description

In a totalitarian future society, a man whose daily work is rewriting history tries to rebel by falling in love.

What's left behind the scenes

Sonia Orwell (1918-1980), the widow of George Orwell (1903-1950), strongly objected to the altered ending, and thanks to her efforts, the film was withdrawn from circulation.
In the British film “1984” (Michael Anderson, 1956), Donald Pleasence played Syme, whose image in the film was combined with that of Parsons.
