The Iron Maiden

  • 1962 film

An aircraft designer's love of traction engines gets in the way of his job when an American airline owner visits England on a buying mission. Stars Michael Craig, Anne Helm, Jeff Donnell, Alan Hale, Noel Purcell and more.

The Iron Maiden

Aviation designer Jack Hopkins is notably absent from his creation's latest test flight. He is, in fact, many miles away indulging his greatest passion: an old showman's traction engine called The Iron Maiden! Jack has his heart set on entering the prestigious Annual Steam Rally at Woburn Abbey, but hadn't reckoned on some fierce and devious opposition!

Michael Craig is the engineering genius whose hobby spells trouble for boss Cecil Parker, with Alan Hale Jr. as the tycoon who eventually comes to share his passion in this stellar comedy from Carry On's Gerald Thomas - presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.

First released: Monday 22nd February 2016
