The Definitive Ealing Studios Collection (DVD)

... The quality of the films themselves is terrible, and one would think that in the age of digital re mastering that something would have been done to touch up some of the more grainy and poor quality pictures in this collection. It would be wonderful to see a larger range of perhaps more diverse ... Read review

The Definitive Ealing Studios Collection [Collector's Ed.]

Ealing Studios output from the 1940s and 1950s helped define what was arguably the golden ... more

age for British cinema. It fostered great
directors such as Alexander Mackendrick and Robert
Hamer, while giving stars such as Alec Guinness
and Peter Sellers the chance to shine.These four
classic films are testament to the studio's
considerable influence on film-making both in the
UK and beyond.Kind Hearts And Coronets:Louis
Mazzini's mother belongs to the aristocratic
family D'Ascoyne, but she ran away with an opera
singer. Therefore, the D'Ascoynes rejected her and
Louis. Once adult, Louis (Dennis Price) decides to
avenge his mother and him, by becoming the next
Duke of the family. Murdering every potential
successor - all famously played by Alec Guinness -
is clearly the safest way to achieve his
goal.Passport To Pimlico:When an unexploded WWII
bomb is accidentally detonated in Pimlico, it
reveals a treasure trove and documents proving
that the region is in fact part of Burgundy,
France, and thus foreign territory. The British
Government attempts to regain control by setting
up border controls and cutting off services to the
area. Written by Ealing regular T.E.B. Clarke, the
film was nominated by BAFTA in the Best British
film category.Nicholas Nickleby:Based on Charles
Dickens' novel, Nicholas Nickleby tells the story
of the eponymous hero and his attempts to escape
the clutches of his greedy moneylender Uncle Ralph
by joining a troope of actors. Staying true to the
dark mood of the book, Ealing stalwart Alberto
Cavalcanti conjures up a triumphantly atmospheric
adaptation of the literary classic featuring great
performances from Cedric Hardwicke and Derek Bond,
who went on to star in several other Ealing
classics.Went The Day Well?:Based on a story by
Grahame Greene, Went The Day Well? is a classic
piece of propagandist entertainment, a warning to
British citizens to remain ever alert for the
arrival of the enemy. Alberto Cavalcanti's film
tells the story of a quiet English village which
has been infiltrated by German soldiers
masquerading as British troops, leaving the plucky
villagers to uncover the plot and fight back.

classic films are testament to the studio's
considerable influence on film-making both in the
UK and beyond.The Lavender Hill Mob:Holland (Alec
Guinness), is a shy retiring man who works as a
bank transfer agent for the delivery of gold
bullion. One day he befriends Pendlebury (Stanley
Holloway), a maker of souvenirs. Holland remarks
that, with Pendlebury's smelting equipment, one
could forge the gold into harmless-looking toy
Eiffel Towers and smuggle the gold into France.
Soon after, they gain the services of professional
criminals Lackery (Sid James) and Shorty (Alfie
Bass) and the four plot their crime, unaware of
the pitfalls which lie ahead.The Titfield
Thunderbolt: When British Railways announce the
closure of the Titfield to Mallingford branch
line, a group of local village residents make a
bid to run it themselves, backed by a monied
member of the community who is attracted by the
complete lack of licensing hours on trains.
Unfortunately this puts them into direct
competition with the local bus company.Hue And
Cry: Hue and Cry has since become known as the
first of the Ealing comedies proper, and was also
the first to make brilliant use of post-war
London's exterior locations.. The story follows a
boy who becomes convinced that a major heist is
being planned and executed through the pages of
boys' weekly serial The Trump. Having been laughed
out of the police station, he and the rest of his
friends set about entrapping the culprits and
exposing the plot.Dead Of Night: Starring Mervyn
Johns, Michael Redgrave and Googie Withers, Dead
of Night represented a departure for Ealing from
the classic comedy mould and is instead a spooky
psychological thriller made up of 5 chilling ghost
stories. An architect visits a country house only
to get trapped in recurring nightmare involving
tales of the occult told by fellow guests at the
manor. A portmanteau work from four of Ealing's
best directors, Dead of Night preyed masterfully
on the country's post-war fears and paranoia.

The Ladykillers: With iconic performances from Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers and Herbert ... more

Lom, The Ladykillers is quintessential Ealing.
Director Alexander Mackendrick's film centres on a
criminal gang planning their next job, who find
themselves boarding with an innocent old lady who
thinks they are musicians. When the gang set out
to kill Mrs Wilberforce, they run into one problem
after another, and they get what they deserve.
Mackendrick's last film as director before his
move to Hollywood, The Ladykillers remains one of
the best British comedies ever made.The Man In The
White Suit: Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness), a
humble inventor, develops a fabric, which never
gets dirty or wears out. This would seem to be a
boon for mankind, but the established garment
manufacturers don't see it that way; they try to
suppress it. Nevertheless, Sidney is determined to
put his invention on the market, forcing the
clothing factory bigwigs to resort to more
desperate measures.The Magnet: Charles Frend's
film stars a young James Fox as a small boy who
cons another boy out of his toy magnet, and is
then wracked with guilt when he wrongly believes
this has led to the other boy's death. A
wonderfully evocative portrait of the trials and
tribulations of youth in post-War Liverpool.Scott
Of The Antarctic: John Mills stars as Captain
Robert Scott in this film of the explorer's
ill-fated expedition to be the first man to
discover the South Pole. Directed by Charles Frend
who went on to direct The Magnet, the film was
nominated for both the Golden Lion in Venice and
the BAFTA for Best British Film.

Ealing Studios Dissapointment

Advantages: Loveley Movies
Disadvantages: Bad quality, predictable selection of movies

...films enjoyed by individuals around the world. Several Box sets have been released over the years and this ' Definitive Collection' seems to contain yet again the same small selection of films favoured in previous collections.
It would be nice to see a wider range of Ealings productions available, especially seeing as the Studios had and still have a massive fanbase for their work. The quality of the films themselves is terrible, and one ... more
