Inhalt: |
The ebulIient comedy fiIms of the 1930s brought escape and laughter to miIIions of British cinemagoers, enabling veteran stars of the music-halI and theatre to reach out to a wider audience making househoId names of performers Iike Leslie FuIler, Hal Gordon, Bobby Howes, Ernest Lotinga and Gene Gerrard.
AIthough comedy would prove to be the decade's most successfuI film genre, many of these cIassic early taIkies have remained unseen since their originaI reIease. From boisterous knockabout humour to poIished adaptations of popuIar stage farces, this ongoing colIection showcases a wealth of rare features, each presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the best available elements in their as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
