Product Description
From playful romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the British
musical films of the 1930s offered audiences a source of much-needed
escapism throughout the decade haunted by the Great Depression and the
growing menace of war. Often adapting much-loved hits of the music hall
as well as serving as vehicles for the era's composers, performers and
band leaders, they showcased home-grown talent alongside some of
Hollywood's most bankable stars.
This ongoing, multi-volume collection makes available a wealth of rare
gems from the very earliest days of the British talkies, many of which
have remained unseen since their original release; each film is
presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the original film
elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
