British Musicals Of The 1930s - Volume 4
From playful romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the pre-war British musical films 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.
Dance Band (1935)
Life gets complicated for bandleader Buddy when he falls for his greatest rival - the leader of an all-girl dance band!
Kathleen Mavourneen (1937)

Eddie Marston is wealthy and kind, but his affairs are rapidly descending into chaos. Who can help him?
Yes, Madam? (1938)
