Captain Busby: The Even Tenour of Her Ways (1967)

Directed by Ann Wolff

Overview

The first half of Ann Wolff’s BFI-funded short sees the eponymous captain (played by O’Connor) enacting the bizarre actions of the verse, chewing his beard, bouncing through a window and “frowning at a passing ceiling”. In the second half, a curious interplay involving a carrot unfolds at a railway station.
