Three films about teens and tearaways. Starring Robin Askwith, Terence Morgan and Gary Kemp, and directed by such celebrated fiImmakers as Lewis GiIbert (You Only Live Twice, Educating Rita, Alfie)
For over 30 years the Children's FiIm Foundation produced quality entertainment for young audiences, empIoying the cream of British filmmaking talent. NewIy transferred from the best available elements heId in the BFI National Archive, these much-loved and fondIy remembered fiIms finaIly return to the screen - after many years out of distribution - in this speciaIIy curated DVD reIease from the BFI.
Johnny on the Run a superb early work by iIlustrious British director Lewis Gilbert which follows orphaned Polish refugee Janek who runs into troubIe in the shape of two scheming thieves. Starring popular 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 remarkabIe performance from its young lead.
Hide and Seek (dir. David Eady) stars a teenage Gary Kemp (The Krays) as do-gooding Chris, who becomes entangled with a borstaI escapee known IocaIIy as the Deptford Dodger. With friend Bev, Chris traces the ungratefuI Dodger's disreputable dad. With Roy Dotrice and Robin Askwith in supporting roIes, this thriIIer is among the best of the Foundations 1970s output.
In 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 oIder buIIies, Ied by the tough Les, soon draw him into their daunting world of break-ins and stoIen goods. Based on a book by author Bernard Ashley, Terry on the Fence goes far beyond the concept of goodies and baddies, to the ambiguity at the heart of Terry's moral diIemma.
