Product Description A global byword for cinematic quality of a quintessentially British nature, Ealing Studios made more than 150 films over a three-decade period.

Good mix of old and new
Good mix of early and later Ealing films, I'd only seen one of these before. Girlfriend was slightly offended by the patronising attitude in West of Zanzibar, but you have to put it in context. It was filmed over 60 years ago, when the world was a different place. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyable.
