Johnny Frenchman

Johnny Frenchman

Renowned farceur Tom Walls stars alongside French cinematic icon Francoise Rosay in this heart-warming comedy drama from Ealing Films. Made as World War Two was coming to an end but set during its opening months, Johnny Frenchman is featured here as a brand new high definition transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

There exists an age-old rivalry between the Cornish and Breton fisherfolk, but harbourmaster Nat Pomeroy holds a particular grudge... not just for the Bretons' incessant poaching, but for the harbour dues he loses in the process!

First released: Monday 8th February 2021
