Allegorical drama from director Lindsay Anderson in which a group of non-conformist students lead a revolt against their oppressive masters at an English private school. Parallels are drawn in the film between the bullying, inflexible and snobbish approach of the schoolmasters to their pupils, led by the rebellious Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell), and the dysfunction and injustice of the British class system at large. As Mick and his gang of cohorts indulge in acts of petty disobedience, such as heading into town to try and seduce a local waitress, the school's acts of retribution, led by Rowntree (Robert Swann), become increasingly cruel and malicious. Finally, the students are provoked into open rebellion, the bloody nature of which shocked a number of commentators at the time and led to claims that the film aimed to provoke a violent uprising in society as a whole.
Wendy Toye directs this thriller starring John Justin as Philip Chance, a successful writer. Philip's publisher Maurice (Raymond Huntley) calls Philip back from the south of France with an invitation to write a biography of a young pilot, Martin Teckman (Michael Medwin), who was killed during a test flight in a new warplane, the Walters-Armitage F109. As Chance delves into the life of Teckman and the crash, he struggles to make sense of contradictory information. When friends and colleagues of Teckman start disappearing, Chance realises how murky the case is and begins to question the circumstances of Teckman's death.
Guy Hamilton directs this classic British drama. Former army officer Wolf Merton (Jack Hawkins) has lost touch with the men he commanded during the war. Now working as a stockbroker in London, Wolf returns home one night to find an intruder inside his house. Wolf quickly recognises the man as being Ginger Edwards (Michael Medwin), a man who was once part of his platoon. Can Wolf help Ginger return to a more honourable way of living?
Every year, barrister Alan McKim (John Gregson) and wife Wendy (Dinah Sheridan) compete against Alan's friend (and Wendy's former beau), Ambrose Claverhouse (Kenneth More), in the London to Brighton vintage car race. This time round, however, Alan's 1904 roadster, 'Genevieve', breaks down on route. Angered by Ambrose's jokes at the expense of his beloved car, Alan bets his rival that he can beat him on the return journey to London - and the race is on! Larry Adler's harmonica score was nominated for an Oscar. Also included is a 'making of' documentary.
Richard Attenborough and Jack Warner star in this late 1940s British drama set in a reform school for boys. After being caught and sent to a borstal for three years because of his involvement in a robbery, teenager Jackie Knowles (Attenborough) makes friends with fellow juvenile delinquents Alfie (Dirk Bogarde) and Bill (Jimmy Hanley). Meanwhile, the reformatory govenor (Warner) attempts to keep the boys under control.
Margaret Rutherford and Robert Morley star in this British comedy. The Drossmouth repertory company are having enough trouble preparing for their production of the poorly-written melodrama 'Tarnished Gold' when the play's indomitable author Catherine Beckwith (Rutherford) arrives. She soon locks horns with the play's producer Harry Blacker (Morley), a confrontation which quickly escalates into out-and-out war.
The first four films from the hugely popular 'Carry On' series. In 'Carry On Sergeant' (1958), a sergeant (William Hartnell) takes a bet that the last recruits he trains will win the 'Star Squad' award. The sergeant's inept young charges include Bob Monkhouse, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor. In 'Carry On Teacher' (1959), trouble erupts at a secondary school when inspectors arrive to evaluate the teachers' work. A group of pupils (led by a youthful Richard O'Sullivan) who don't want their teacher transferred to a different job play up. In 'Carry On Nurse' (1959), the patients in a men's hospital ward decide to revolt against the staff, as led by the indomitable Matron (Hattie Jacques). Finally, in 'Carry On Constable' (1959), police sergeant Wilkins (Sid James) has a new batch of dubious recruits on his hands, whose idea of covert surveillance involves dressing up in drag.
James Mason stars in this family drama set in Bolton in the late 1960s. Love and humour prevail as strict working class father Rafe Crompton (Mason) and his wife Daisy (Diana Coupland) struggle to cope with the ups and downs of bringing up their four children - Hilda (Susan George), Harold (Rodney Bewes), Florence (Hannah Gordon) and Wilfred (Len Jones) - against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society.
This was the second 'Carry On' film, and a hit in the United States. The patients in a men's hospital ward decide to revolt against the staff, as led by the indomitable Matron (Hattie Jacques). Troublesome patients include Kenneth Williams, Leslie Phillips, Kenneth Connor and Charles Hawtrey. Producer Peter Rogers was offered a five-movie deal on the strength of this film's success.
World War II submarine drama chronicling British efforts to destroy the German battleship 'Tirpitz' in a Norwegian fjord. John Mills leads a stalwart British cast in this documentary-style film.
