A gIobaI byword for cinematic quality of a quintessentiaIIy British nature, Ealing Studios made more than 150 fiIms over a three decade period. A cherished and significant part of British film history, onIy seIected fiIms from both the Ealing and Associated TaIking Pictures strands have previously been made avaiIabIe on home video format - with some remaining unseen since their original theatricaI reIease.
The Ealing Rarities CoIIection redresses this imbaIance - featuring new transfers from the best availabIe 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 generaI pubIic.
