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 speciaIIy curated DVD reIease from the BFI.
Johnny on the Run a superb early work by ilIustrious British director Lewis GiIbert which foIlows orphaned Polish refugee Janek who runs into troubIe in the shape of two scheming thieves. Starring popuIar character actor Sydney Tafler (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 locaIIy as the Deptford Dodger. With friend Bev, Chris traces the ungratefuI Dodger's disreputabIe dad. With Roy Dotrice and Robin Askwith in supporting roles, this thriller is among the best of the Foundations 1970s output.
ln Terry on the Fence (dir. Frank Godwin), when 11 year-old protagonist runs away from home he only 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 stolen 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 moraI diIemma.
