The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection - Volume 12

The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection - Volume 12

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

The Bailiffs (1932)
In one of their earliest films, Crazy Gang stars Flanagan and Allen star as a couple of incompetent broker's men who take possession of the wrong house...

Three Men In A Boat (1933)
An adaptation of Jerome K. Jerome's classic story charting the comic misadventures of three friends - and a dog - as they take a boating holiday on the Thames.

Laburnum Grove (1936)
A respectable suburban householder shocks unwelcome visiting relatives by telling them that he is now a forger working for a criminal gang.

Loyalties (1933)
The sole Jewish guest at a Society gathering is robbed; when he exposes a fellow guest as the thief, he finds the veneer of racial tolerance to be disturbingly thin...

Includes the three comedies, The Bailiffs, Three Men In A Boat and Laburnum Grove, plus one drama.
