Here are a few more:

A Day to remember (1953) with Stanley Holloway (Feb)
The Saint's vacation (1941) (March)
The Saint meets the tiger (1941) - will be interesting to see the quality on the two British made "Saint" films. When shown on BBC2 in the 1980s, both were obviously from fairly low grade 16mm prints. Hopefully something a bit better has been sourced for these releases.

Waoh! 'Sea Fury'.

Been waiting years for this one on DVD.

With Stanley Baker in the lead role and a wonderful turn by Victor McLaglen as an alcoholic tug-boat captain, some have likened this to a kind of 'Hell-Drivers'-at-Sea. Not surprising, given that it was made by the same production team that gave us that 1957 trucker classic - Benjamin Fisz/Producer; Cy Endfield/Director; with Endfield & John Kruse as Screenwriters. That's no bad thing, IMHO, and anyone who liked 'Hell Drivers' will love this one too.

Just one thing, though ... wasn't it released in 1958 (not '57)???
