The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection - Volume 7
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 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 tenures as studio head, making them available once more to the general public.
Play Up The Band (1935)
Stanley Holloway stars in the hilariously chaotic chronicle of the Heckdyke Steam Wagon Works Brass Band's attempt to get to the Crystal Palace band contest.
Take A Chance (1937)
Irritated by her husband's seeming indifference, the wife of a racehorse trainer flirts with a young man whose real object is to learn the secrets of her husband's stables...
Eureka Stockade (1949)
In the Australian gold rush of the 1850s, the miners' struggle to gain their rights proves to be a long and bitter one.
The Gaunt Stranger (1938)
A lawyer receives a note telling him that he'll be dead in 48 hours - and Scotland Yard must work fast to uncover the serial killer known as 'The Ringer'.
Includes comedies Take A Chance and Play Up The Band, plus two dramas.
