The Tough 'un is a curious entry in the Secrets of Nature series, blending enchanting time-lapse photography with an amusing commentary by EVH Emmett. It's not your standard documentary; the pacing keeps you engaged, and there's a light-hearted tone that runs through the narration. The juxtaposition of the stunning visuals with Emmett's cheeky remarks creates a unique viewing experience that feels both educational and entertaining. It's a fascinating look at nature, but filtered through a lens of humor that isn’t all that common in documentaries of its era.
The Tough 'un is a bit of a rarity, as many collectors of this series are aware. Its combination of humor and practical effects through time-lapse makes it stand out, though the director's identity remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. In terms of formats, it has seen a few reissues but remains elusive in pristine condition, which piques the interest of serious collectors who appreciate the quirky charm of early documentary filmmaking.
