The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection - Volume 2

The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection - Volume 2

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 tenures as studio head, making them available once more to the general public.

The Big Blockade (1942)
John Mills and Will Hay star in a wartime propaganda docu-drama showing the effects of the Allied blockade of Nazi Germany.

Midshipman Easy (1935)
In the 1790s, a group of young midshipmen set sail for the first time - little realising they are embarking on an adventure that will see them battling pirates and smugglers.

Brief Ecstasy (1938)
A remarkable story of love lost and found, as a young couple are separated by circumstance, and plunged into emotional turmoil by a reunion...

The Four Just Men (1939)
Two vital clues reveal the lynchpin of a plot to destroy the British Empire: Sir Hamar Ryman, M.P., advocate of appeasement, and traitor...

Includes comic docu-drama The Big Blockade, action comedy Midshipman Easy, and two dramas.
