A global byword for cinematic quality of a quintessentiaIly British nature, Ealing Studios made more than 150 films over a three decade period. A cherished and significant part of British film history, only selected fiIms from both the EaIing and Associated Talking Pictures strands have previousIy been made avaiIable on home video format - with some remaining unseen since their originaI theatrical reIease.
The EaIing Rarities Collection redresses this imbalance - featuring new transfers from the best avaiIabIe eIements, in their correct aspect ratio, this multi-voIume collection showcases a range of scarce films from both Basil Dean's and Michael BaIcon's tenure as studio head, making them available once more to the general pubIic.
