The Card

A gentle, Oscar-nominated comedy featuring a memorably charming performance from Alec Guinness, The Card co-stars Valerie Hobson, Glynis Johns and Petula Clark in an early performance. Stylishly directed by Ronald Neame, it is featured here as a brand-new high definition transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

A precocious child who has grown into a cheeky charmer, ambitious Denry Machin relishes the challenge of surmounting social and other barriers with his amiably affectionate personality. He soon becomes the youngest ever mayor of his home town, but he soon meets his match when it comes to women!

First released: Monday 27th April 2020
