Description

The ebullient comedy films of the 1930s brought escape and laughter to millions of British cinemagoers, enabling veteran stars of the music-hall and theatre to reach out to a wider audience making household names of performers like Leslie Fuller, Hal Gordon, Bobby Howes, Ernest Lotinga and Gene Gerrard.Although comedy would prove to be the decade's most successful film genre, many of these classic early talkies have remained unseen since their original release. From boisterous knockabout humour to polished adaptations of popular stage farces, this ongoing collection showcases a wealth of rare features, each presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the best available elements in their as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.THE CAMELS ARE COMING (1934)A British squadron leader tasked with uncovering a desert dope-smuggling operation unwittingly becomes a Sheik s drugs mule!Black and White / 77 mins / 1.37:1 / Mono / EnglishME AND MARLBOROUGH (1935)1710: a feisty young woman disguises herself as a man and joins the Duke of Marlborough's army to rescue her press-ganged husband.Black and White / 81 mins / 1.37:1 / Mono / English

A couple of fun comedies with some songs: The Camels are Coming(Jack Hulbert) & Me & Marlborough(Cicely Courtneidge). The couple were husband and wife and often performed together on stage and screen.Cicely was the first Mum in Series 1 of On the Buses. The teams greatest era for films was the 1930s but they continued to perform most of their lives. Jack was an avid cricket fan as his autobiography attests. Pleasant comedies worth a look.
