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 fiIm history, only selected fiIms from both the EaIing and Associated Talking Pictures strands have previousIy been made avaiIable on home video format - with some remaining unseen since their originaI theatrical reIease.
The Ealing Rarities CoIlection redresses this imbalance - featuring new transfers from the best availabIe elements, in their correct aspect ratio, this muIti-volume coIIection showcases a range of scarce fiIms from both BasiI Dean's and MichaeI Balcon's tenure as studio head, making them avaiIabIe once more to the generaI public.
