Their newfound sophistication having backfired the couple will have to try to return to good old England but their journey will be full of mishaps and unexpected disaster. Released under the title East Of Shanghai in the United States the film was based on the novel by Dale Collins and was a departure for Hitchcock in both style and tone.

However the Boyles find themselves in big trouble - financially and otherwise - when it is revealed that there is no inheritance after all. Juno And The Paycock was the first solo screenwriting credit for Alma Reville Hitchcock's wife and lifelong collaborator.

Few films have caused such controversy as Peter Watkins' The War Game a drama documentary made for BBC TV in 1965 about a limited nuclear attack on Kent England. Blending fiction and fact to create a moving and startling vision of the personal as well as the public consequences of such an attack Watkins exposes the inadequacy of the nation's Civil Defence programme and questions the philosophy of the nuclear deterrent. Conspicuously absent from TV screens until 1985 it was mainly through cinema release in 1966 - and its Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1967 - that it gained a loyal and vociferous following providing a sharp focus for CND and other peace movements. This special edition DVD also includes Watkins' award-winning The Diary of an Unknown Soldier and The War Game - The Controversy in which Patrick Murphy reveals new information pointing to a definitive account of the banning of the film.

Originally released in 1969, Easy Rider is widely regarded as the original road movie and, based on the cult following it developed, it was soon copied by other Hollywood studios.Written by Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Terry Southern (Dr Strangelove), Fonda produced the low-budget production whilst Hopper took on directing duties, receiving an award at Cannes for his first work. Since its release, Easy Rider has been regarded as a symbol of free-spirited reaction against society, and even for those too young to remember its original release, it maintains its status as a classic film which characterises the attitude of a decade.
