“How very delightful!” Studiocanal UK & Park Circus have unveiled an official trailer dubbed Once More with Ealing, celebrating classic films made by the UK’s iconic vintage production company Ealing Studios. 1949 saw the release of a trio of classic British comedies that really cemented Ealing’s place in history as this country’s finest film studios: Passport to Pimlico, Kind Hearts & Coronets and Whiskey Galore! (And many, many other films…) 75 years later, these films still seem as fresh, innovative and, above all, as funny as ever. To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of these landmark films, and to compliment the theatrical reissue of a new 4K restoration of Ealing’s sweetest crime caper film The Lavender Hill Mob (out 29 March), cinemas nationwide will be offering a selection of Ealing classics, both comedy and drama. The trailer below includes clips from a various selection of these classic films, and it’s a nice reminder to book tickets and enjoy. Other great classics include: Pool of London, The Captive Heart, Dunkirk, The Goose Steps Out, & The Cruel Sea.

To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of these landmark films, and to compliment the theatrical reissue of a new 4k restoration of Ealing’s sweetest crime caper The Lavender Hill Mob (out March 29th), cinemas nationwide will be offering a selection of Ealing classics, both comedy and drama, under the banner Once More with Ealing! The retrospective screening event is being run by Studiocanal UK (visit their classic films site). Other classics to savour include Ealing stalwart Alec Guinness and his gang of thieves undone by Katie Johnson and her parrots in gloriously restored 4k Technicolor The Ladykillers, ground-breaking and provocative dramas such as Pool of London and It Always Rains on Sunday, the archetypal portmanteau horror championed by everyone from John Landis to Kennenth Branagh, Dead of Night; and that man Guinness again, facing off against big business as they try to quash his miracle invention in The Man in the White Suit. And that’s just to name a few of the Ealing treats in store. There will be new Blu-rays and re-releases, in addition to screenings and other film events throughout the UK – starts at the end of March through this summer.
