"Actor: Hardy"

• Winston Churchill - The Wilderness Years - Vol. 1: Down And Out / Politics Are Foul | DVD | (26/11/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  It’s easy to forget that before fronting the British war effort through most of World War II, Winston Churchill had spent the previous decade isolated in Parliament and in internal opposition to the Conservative party. Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years dramatises this period in which the growing menace of Nazism in Germany was met with indifference, even fear by governments of the day who were more concerned with their survival than in serving those who had elected them. Churchill is perceptively played by Robert Hardy, confirming the image without falling into caricature. Visionary and obstinate by turns, he galvanises his supporters and enrages his enemies with a passion borne of conviction. A seasoned British cast includes Peter Barkworth as the amiable but ineffectual Stanley Baldwin, Eric Porter as the truly "out of time" Neville Chamberlain, Edward Woodward as the scheming Samuel Hoare and Nigel Havers as the tragically flawed Randolph Churchill. Martin Gilbert has done a persuasive job transforming his novel into a TV script, the scenes in the House of Commons having a gritty reality that makes compulsive viewing. On the DVD: it’s a pity that the Southern Pictures production, first screened in 1981, has emerged so dimly in this incarnation. Has the master tape eroded so badly, or was it simply not available? However, it’s worth putting up with the technical defects to enjoy this historically informed and grippingly dramatic serial. --Richard Whitehouse

Also included is the classic silent comedy From 'Soup To Nuts' which the team remade as a section of 'A Chump At Oxford' - only with Stan switching his character to that of Agnes the maid! Also in this compilation is an earlier glimpse of Agnes in one of their greatest talkie shorts 'Another Fine Mess'. Volume 3: Way Out West / Shorts Contains: Way Out West (b/w) Way Out West (colourised) One Good Turn (b/w) One Good Turn (colourised) Thicker Than Water (b/w) Thicker Than Water (colourised) Regarded as the most popular of Laurel & Hardy's feature-length films not least for the Trail of the Lonesome Pine song 'Way Out West' sees Stan and Ollie visiting the town of Brushwood Gulch to deliver the deed of a gold mine only to be deceived by James Finlayson playing a villainous saloon-keeper. A great favourite among Laurel & Hardy admirers Finlayson is featured elsewhere in this compilation through the classic L&H shorts 'One Good Turn' and 'Thicker Than Water'. Volume 14: Classic Shorts / A Job To Do: Contains: Busy Bodies (b/w) Busy Bodies (colourised) Double Whoopee (b/w silent with musical score) Dirty Work (b/w) Dirty Work (colourised) The Finishing Touch The Music Box (b/w) The Music Box (colourised) Hog Wild (b/w) Hog Wild (colourised) Hats Off (stills gallery) A collection of classic shorts all of which present Stan and Ollie with a task to perform. 'Busy Bodies' is the famous film where Stan and Ollie work in a sawmill. In 'Double Whoopee' they start work at a plush Broadway hotel - and close a taxi door on Jean Harlow's dress! 'Hog Wild' concerns their efforts to fit a rooftop aerial. In 'Dirty Work' they are back on the roof this time as chimney sweeps at the home of an eccentric scientist. Stan and Ollie are in the building trade for 'The Finishing Touch' while in 'The Music Box' - perhaps their most famous film - they have to deliver a piano up a huge flight of steps. 'The Music Box' was inspired by one of their earliest comedies as a team 'Hats Off'. Sadly no copy of the film is known to survive but this DVD includes a selection of stills from this long-lost classic.
