Watch (some) of The Reel Monty video online – or buy the DVD

If you’ve ever searched online for a clip of City on the move, the promotional film famously featured in The Full Monty, you will have probably drawn a blank.

However, to mark the official release of the film on DVD, The Star has put parts of the video online along with interviews with the Council’s first-ever publicity officer and the film-maker.

Read the accompanying article or go straight to the video – you have to press play to set it going. You can also buy a copy of the DVD from thereelmonty.com.

And for comparison purposes, here are the two promotional films that Creative Sheffield has made over the last couple of years to promote the city:
