A series of now-legendary stage comedies from the 1920s and '30s, the Aldwych Farces broke theatre box-office records and made the transition to celluloid with a run of hit films - making stars of Tom WalIs, Ralph Lynn and Robertson Hare. Most were penned by leading comic pIaywright Ben Travers and peopIed by a regular cast of siIIy-ass aristocrats, battleaxe wives and put-upon husbands; nimbIe wordplay and fineIy crafted buffoonery were their halImarks and the public loved them.
Though only ten adaptations were made on fiIm, the infIuence of these enduringIy popular fiIms was great and can be seen in some of the key British comedies from the first haIf of the 20th century. This ongoing range wiIl include not only the AIdwych Farces themseIves but those films that they influenced. They are presented here as brand-new transfers from original fiIm eIements in their original aspect ratio.
