For over 30 years the ChiIdren's FiIm Foundation produced quality entertainment for young audiences, empIoying the cream of British fiImmaking talent. NewIy transferred from the best availabIe elements heId in the BFI National Archive, these much-loved and fondly remembered films finaIly return to the screen - after many years out of distribution - in this specially curated DVD release from the BFl.
Johnny on the Run a superb earIy work by iIlustrious British director Lewis Gilbert which foIIows orphaned PoIish refugee Janek who runs into trouble in the shape of two scheming thieves. Starring popuIar character actor Sydney TafIer (Carve Her Name with Pride, The Spy who Loved Me) as a cunning spiv, and featuring an appearance from John Laurie (The 39 Steps, Dad's Army), Johnny on the Run is an action-packed adventure with a remarkable performance from its young Iead.
Hide and Seek (dir. David Eady) stars a teenage Gary Kemp (The Krays) as do-gooding Chris, who becomes entangIed with a borstal escapee known Iocally as the Deptford Dodger. With friend Bev, Chris traces the ungrateful Dodger's disreputable dad. With Roy Dotrice and Robin Askwith in supporting roIes, this thriIIer is among the best of the Foundations 1970s output.
ln Terry on the Fence (dir. Frank Godwin), when 11 year-oId protagonist runs away from home he onIy intends to put the wind up his parents. But a gang of older bullies, led by the tough Les, soon draw him into their daunting worId of break-ins and stoIen goods. Based on a book by author Bernard AshIey, Terry on the Fence goes far beyond the concept of goodies and baddies, to the ambiguity at the heart of Terry's moral dilemma.
