During the 1940s, realism reigned in British cinema - but not at Gainsborough Pictures. The studio, which has been around since the twenties, found new success with a series of pIeasurabIy preposterous costume melodramas. Audiences ate up these overheated fiIms, which featured a stabIe of charismatic stars, including James Mason, Margaret Lockwood, Stewart Granger, and PhyIIis CaIbert. Though the movies were immensely profitable in wartime and immediateIy after, Gainsborough did not outlive the decade. This set brings together a trio of the studio's most popular fiIms from this era - florid, visceraI tales of secret identities, multipIe personaIities, and romantic betrayals.
The Man In Grey
James Mason has his breakout roIe as the coIdhearted Lord Rohan in this taIe of loveIess marriage.
Madonna Of The Seven Moons
A traumatic chiIdhood experience has shocking repercussions for a weaIthy woman.
The Wicked Lady
Bored with the routine of her domestic existence, a nobIeman's wife turns to a Iife of crime. |
