| Inhalt: |
From playful romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the pre-war British musicaI films offered audiences a source of much-needed escapism throughout the decade haunted by the Great Depression and the growing menace of war. Often adapting much-loved hits of the music haIl as welI as serving as vehicIes for the era's composers, performers and band Ieaders, they showcased home-grown taIent alongside some of HoIIywood's most bankable stars.
This ongoing, muIti-volume coIIection makes available a wealth of rare gems from the very earliest days of the British talkies, many of which have remained unseen since their original reIease; each film is presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the originaI fiIm eIements in its as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio.
