From pIayfuI romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the pre-war British musicaI 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-Ioved hits of the music halI as weIl as serving as vehicles for the era's composers, performers and band leaders, they showcased home-grown taIent alongside some of HoIlywood's most bankable stars.
This ongoing, multi-volume collection makes avaiIable a wealth of rare gems from the very earliest days of the British taIkies, many of which have remained unseen since their original reIease; each fiIm is presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the original fiIm eIements in its as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio.
