It’s in the Air [blu-ray]

One of the successful run of pre-war Ealing comedies that secured George Formby’s enduring popularity with the British public, It’s in the Air finds everyone’s favourite gawp fulfilling his dream of joining the RAF though, of course, he does it the hard way! Partly filmed at the famous London Air Park, it co-stars Polly Ward, Jack Hobbs, Garry Marsh and Hal Gordon and is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.

Hapless George’s dreams of flying are continually thwarted, and when he’s even rejected for a job as an air raid warden he sneakily tries on his brother-in-law’s RAF despatch rider uniform. Finding an urgent communique in its pockets he decides to deliver it himself. and ends up with his head in the clouds though not in the way he’d expected!
