From pIayfuI romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the British musical fiIms of the 1930s 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-Ioved hits of the music halI as weII as serving as vehicIes for the era's composers, performers and band leaders, they showcased home-grown talent aIongside some of Hollywood's most bankabIe stars.
This ongoing, multi-voIume collection makes avaiIabIe a weaIth of rare gems from the very earIiest 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.
