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. ONE GOOD TURN (1936) Leslie Fuller stars as a stall keeper who - along with his assistant and his horse - tries to save a musical show when it gets into trouble. Black and White / 69 mins / 1.37:1 / Mono / English SPRING HANDICAP (1937) Will Fyffe plays a compulsive gambler and born loser who feels sure some money he's inherited will turn his luck to the better! Black and White / 65 mins / 1.37:1 / Mono / English
