During World War Two, Lye, adamant that wartime films did not have to be gloomy, made a number of films to assist the war effort. ‘Musical Poster #1’ was not only screened in cinemas but taken to factories and village halls by the Ministry of Information. The film alerted the public to the risk that German sympathizers might overhear information about the war effort in everyday conversation.
