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.

Films include:

• Honeymoon for Three (1941)

Directed by Lloyd Bacon, this film follows a successful writer played by George Brent who finds himself at the centre of a love triangle involving Anne Rogers (Ann Sheridan) and Julie Wilson (Osa Massen)


• I Believe in You (1952)

Directed by Basil Dearden and Michael Relph, this is a drama about parole officers and those they are responsible for starring Celia Johnson and Cecil Parker
