British Musicals of the 1930s - Volume 4
From playful romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the pre-war
British musical 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 hall
as well as serving as vehicles for the era s composers, performers and
band leaders, they showcased home-grown talent alongside some of
Hollywood s most bankable stars.
This ongoing, multi-volume collection 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 release; each film is presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
