Product Details
The ebullient comedy films of the 1930s brought escape and laughter to
millions of British cinemagoers, enabling veteran stars of the music-hall and
theatre to reach out to a wider audience - making household names of performers
like Leslie Fuller, Hal Gordon, Bobby Howes, Ernest Lotinga and Gene Gerrard.
Although comedy would prove to be the decade s most successful film genre, many
of these classic early talkies have remained unseen since their original
release. From boisterous knockabout humour to polished adaptations of popular
stage farces, this ongoing collection showcases a wealth of rare features, each
presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the best available elements in
their as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
