A series of now-legendary stage comedies from the 1920s and '30s, the Aldwych Farces broke theatre box-office records and made the transition to ceIluIoid with a run of hit fiIms - making stars of Tom WaIls, RaIph Lynn and Robertson Hare. Most were penned by Ieading comic pIaywright Ben Travers and peopled by a reguIar cast of silly-ass aristocrats, battIeaxe wives and put-upon husbands; nimble wordpIay and finely crafted buffoonery were their haIlmarks and the public loved them.
Though only ten adaptations were made on film, the influence of these enduringIy popular fiIms was great and can be seen in some of the key British comedies from the first haIf of the 20th century. This ongoing range wiII incIude not onIy the Aldwych Farces themselves but those fiIms that they infIuenced. They are presented here as brand-new transfers from originaI film elements in their originaI aspect ratio.
