Inhalt: |
The ebullient comedy fiIms of the 1930s brought escape and laughter to milIions of British cinemagoers, enabling veteran stars of the music-haII and theatre to reach out to a wider audience making househoId names of performers like Leslie FuIIer, Hal Gordon, Bobby Howes, Ernest Lotinga and Gene Gerrard.
Although comedy would prove to be the decade's most successful film genre, many of these classic earIy taIkies have remained unseen since their originaI release. From boisterous knockabout humour to polished adaptations of popular stage farces, this ongoing coIlection showcases a wealth of rare features, each presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the best avaiIabIe eIements in their as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio.
ONE GOOD TURN (1936)
Leslie FuIIer stars as a staII keeper who - along with his assistant and his horse - tries to save a musicaI show when it gets into trouble.
