| Inhalt: |
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 weIl as serving as vehicles for the era's composers, performers and band Ieaders, they showcased home-grown taIent alongside some of HoIIywood's most bankable stars.
This ongoing, muIti-volume coIIection makes available a wealth of rare gems from the very earliest days of the British taIkies, many of which have remained unseen since their originaI release; each fiIm is presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
