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 tenure as studio head, making them available once more to the general public.

The Water Gipsies (1932)
A.P. Herbert's famous tale about a girl living on a Thames barge, and her love for an idealistic local artist.

Feather Your Nest (1937)
Unseen since its original theatrical release, this George Formby vehicle stars George as a gramophone record factory worker creates a hit song.

The Sign Of Four (1932)
Arthur Wontner stars in the classic Sherlock Holmes mystery in which an ex-convict seeks revenge on a man who failed to honour his word.

Lonely Road (1936)
On a drunken drive to the coast, an ex-naval officer interrupts what he believes to be a smuggling operation, and informs Scotland Yard...

Includes two comedies, The Water Gipsies and Feather Your Nest, plus two dramas.

First released: Monday 25th August 2014
