![ENTER CONTINENTAL](/images/headline/5247.png) For British movie lovers Continental Film Review was their ticket across the English Channel. ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_01.jpg)
Continental Film Review was first published—as far as we can discern—in November 1952. We decided on that month because we saw a copy from February 1953 numbered Vol. 1 Issue 4, and the masthead said the magazine was published the first week of every month. CFR would go on to become one of Britain's most popular film magazines, exposing English language readers to the wide variety of foreign movies being made across continental Europe. The above issue appeared this month in 1966 with cover star Maria Pia Conte, and numerous film personalities inside, including Vanessa Redgrave, Alan Bates, Rossana Podesta, Evi Marandi, and more. We have other issues we'll get around to sharing at some point. In the meantime see more here, here, here, and here. ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_02.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_03.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_04.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_05.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_06.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_07.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_21.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_08.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_09.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_10.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_19.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_11.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_12.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_13.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_15.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_16.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_20.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_14.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_18.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/enter_continental_17.jpg)

Above, a photo of German actress and dancer Taina Béryl, aka Taina Beryll, aka Tayna Beryll, happily playing with a sidearm, which given a choice is better than her unhappily playing with it. Her name is often spelled "Tania" around the internet but that's incorrect. As a dancer Taina-not-Tania Béryl performed at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, and in cinema was seen in such productions as Une blonde comme ça, L'inconnue de Hong Kong, and Berlin, cites with los Espias. 1963 on the image.

Clement Attlee the nation's new prime minister in a sweeping victory for the Labour Party over the Conservatives. 1952—Evita Peron Dies
Eva Duarte de Peron, aka Evita, wife of the president of the Argentine Republic, dies from cancer at age 33. Evita had brought the working classes into a position of political power never witnessed before, but was hated by the nation's powerful military class. She is lain to rest in Milan, Italy in a secret grave under a nun's name, but is eventually returned to Argentina for reburial beside her husband in 1974. 1943—Mussolini Calls It Quits
Italian dictator Benito Mussolini steps down as head of the armed forces and the government. It soon becomes clear that Il Duce did not relinquish power voluntarily, but was forced to resign after former Fascist colleagues turned against him.
