Dear B Movie Fans

Thank you to all of you who keep writing in regarding your requests for ‘lost’ films and requests for our releases. We do try to answer all your requests; some may take a little more research than others. If we do not respond to your letters, calls or emails via the newsletter, then we will write to you directly.
For those of you who have kindly written in to let other members know of copies of films you may be able to help them with, please note that with your consent we will forward your details to the person who is ‘looking for’- we cannot under data protection act give out others members details. But again thank you to all of you who are keeping up the interest and trying to help other members.

Our release for this month, is DANNY BOY a long awaited film - DANNY BOY 1941 MUSICAL with a beautiful soundtrack starring David Farrar, Wilfred Lawson, Ann Todd & Grant Tyler - Directed by Oswald Mitchell



A slightly shortened version of a film once thought to be lost, but now restored from a collector's 16mm print....Lots of traditional old songs, including Love's Old Sweet Song, Mountains o' Mourne, If Tears Could Bring You Back and Abide With Me, to induce tears in the unwary. (SKY MOVIES)

Oswald Mitchell co-wrote and directed this 1941 musical Signet Production for Butchers. This was a remake of
Oswald’s own 1934 production, a story of Jayne Kaye (Ann Todd), a successful singer in America who returns to Britain during the Blitz to find her ex-husband and son who have fallen on hard times. John Warwick comes across well as the downtrodden but honest father and there is great enthusiasm from the rest of the cast. With some extensive restoration work; we are delighted with the finished result.

And finally our new newsletter section “Looking For…” Mr M Cutmore of Somerset is looking for Cage of Gold 1950, Ealing Studio production released by Rank, which stars Jean Simmonds, David Farrar and many more. Sadly this has never been released on DVD, I think perhaps the copyright may be with Granada so we shall try and pester them!
Ken Henderson of Australia is looking for Childs Play 1954 Group 3 production released by British Lion. It gets a very good write up in Quinlans – it has never been released on DVD or video but looks like an excellent film. Ken is also looking for Three Hats for Lisa a 1966 Seven Hills production and a colour musical it was released on video in 1990 by Warner Home video so maybe there’s a vhs out there somewhere and finally Up With the Lark 1943 EJ Fancey production, his is owned by Renown and we will see if we cant release it as a double bill as it is only 54 mins long.
Keith Davies of London is looking for Nothing Barred 1961 with Brian Rix Produced by Rix-Conyers, it was released by British lion but has never been released on video or DVD could well be in the Canal Plus vault …he is also looking for The Crowning Touch 1959 Ted Ray produced by Crescent Films again appears never have been released on DVD and as released theatrically by films de France ltd
Ronald Bennett is looking for Prize of Gold a Warwick Film Production USA with Richard Widmark and Mia Zetterling again has never been released on DVD. Also Always a Bride Clarion films 1953 with Peggy Cummings and Terence Morgan released in 1953 by rank but never on home video sounds a great little film! Also Edge of Hell Hugo Haas 1956 USA production again never been released on DVD and finally The Shake Down starring Terence Morgan 1960 owned by Renown we will be releasing this title in the near future!
Next month we bring you: THE CASE OF CHARLES PEACE AND PICCADILLY THIRD STOP Best wishes Noel & Sarah
