Win classic comedy Innocents In Paris
Released in 1953, Innocents In Paris is a romantic comedy starring some of British cinema's all-time greats. Alastair Sim leads the cast, with Jimmy Edwards, Margaret Rutherford, Ronald Shiner, Christopher Lee and Kenneth Williams also appearing in the screen classic.
Just shy of its 70th birthday, the film has now been comprehensively restored and remastered in HD by owner STUDIOCANAL and is one of the must-own titles in its expanding Vintage Classics Blu-ray/DVD collection. It is now available to order on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download.
It follows as an assortment of British tourists fly away for a wild and wonderful weekend in Paris, where each character finds that the city welcomes them and changes their lives in different ways, often with hilarious results.
An English diplomat (Sim) is on a working trip to obtain an agreement with his Russian counterpart; a Royal Marine bandsman (Shiner) has a night out on the tiles after winning a pool of the French currency held by all the Marines in his band; a young woman (Claire Bloom) is wined and dined by an older Parisian man (Claude Dauphin) who gives her a tour of Paris; an amateur artist (Margaret Rutherford) searches out fellow painters on the Left Bank and in the Louvre; a hearty Englishman (Edwards) spends the entire weekend in an English-style pub; an archetypal Scotsman and Battle of Normandy veteran (James Copeland) finds love with a young French woman.
Also including a photo gallery and new interview with French journalist Agnès Poirier about the film on its physical versions, the new restoration will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and as a digital download, on 2nd May 2022. Pre-order at Amazon
