Banana Ridge / Aren't Men Beasts - Trailer

Aldwych Theatre farceur Robertson Hare and character comedian Alfred Drayton reprise their original stage roles in two classic screen comedies. Both films are brand-new transfers from the original film elements, in their as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Only one copy of Aren't Men Beasts! is known to exist and its soundtrack is incomplete - for these two mute sections we have included English subtitles.

Banana Ridge
A screen adaptation of Ben Travers's celebrated and enduring farce - a wonderfully mischievous comedy of disputed paternity and caddishness. On the morning of his son's wedding, a mild-mannered dentist is visited by a dark, beautiful girl who disarranges her dress and screams for the police!

Aren't Men Beasts!
Hollywood star June Clyde co-stars in this boisterous comedy caper. two businessmen have the shock of their lives when a woman appears out of their past bearing a 23 year old son - and one of them may be the father!
