The Ealing Rarities Collection

A global byword for cinematic quality of a quintessentially British nature, for three decades Ealing Studios was a cherished and significant part of this country’s home-grown film industry. The studio’s output was more than the renowned ‘Ealing Comedies’, however, covering everything from romances to historicals and sitcoms to satires.
