EALING RARITIES COLLECTION: VOLUME ONE (U) £14.99
A global byword for cinematic quality of a quintessentially British
nature, Ealing Studios made more than 150 films over a three-decade
period. A cherished and significant part of British film history, only
selected films from both the Ealing and Associated Talking Pictures
strands have previously been made available on home-video format – with
some remaining unseen since their original theatrical release.
The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection redresses this imbalance.
Featuring new transfers from the best available elements, in their
correct aspect ratio, this multi-volume collection showcases a range of
scarce films from both Basil Dean’s and Michael Balcon’s tenure as
studio head, making them available once more to the general public.
