The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection: Volume 5

A global byword for cinematic quality of a quintessentially 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 films from both the Ealing and Associated Talking Pictures strands have previously been made available on home-video format – with some remaining unseen since their original theatrical release. The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection redresses this imbalance. Featuring new transfers from the best available elements, in their correct aspect ratio, this multi-volume collection showcases a range of scarce films from both Basil Dean’s and Michael Balcon’s tenure as studio head, making them available once more to the general public. THE WARE CASE (1938) Spendthrift Sir Hubert enjoyed living the life of a lord – it was, after all, the only one for which he was fitted. But he ignored the entreaties of his desperate wife at his peril! Black and White / 73 mins / 1.33:1 / Mono / English THE SHIRALEE (1957) A swagman (Peter Finch) looking for work in 1940s Australia suddenly finds himself carrying an extra burden – a ‘shiralee’ – in the form of his five-year-old daughter. Black and White / 94 mins / 1.66:1 / Mono / English THE HOUSE OF THE SPANIARD (1936) A man ignores a warning to stay away from a sinister house on marshland near Liverpool; when someone drowns close by, he finds the evidence doesn’t add up… Black and White / 67 mins / 1.33:1 / Mono / English THE BELOVED VAGABOND (1936) Maurice Chevalier stars as a poor aspiring architect who signs an agreement not to see his fiancée for two years, in order to save her father from financial ruin. Black and White / 73 mins / 1.33:1 / Mono / English
