I started my apprenticeship as a compositor in 1955, and can confirm that the industry then was exactly like the film. What a pity aspiring designers cannot get hands on experience with setting metal type as shown in the film. I am sure it would help restrain the awful habit of changing faces, size and founts on a single page. Not to mention much better use of white space. Whereas in the "olden days" it could take twenty minutes to change one parameter, now it is a millisecond. I shall now retire to the back of my study for fear of an exploding computer.
