The Discovery Channel and British Film Institute's major treasure chest of wartime films produced by the Crown Film Unit is now on dvd.
Marking 70 years since WWII, British actor Jim Carter guides us through films on such diverse subjects as how to identify and accost German spies, how to extinguish incendiary bombs, and even how to avoid STDs!
It is the calibre of the personnel involved in making these films that is of such interest today: writers JB Priestley and EM Forster, actors Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave, John Mills, directors Humphrey Jennings, Ruby Grierson, Jack Lee and Brian Desmond Hurst.
Over 4.5 hours on 3-dvds, price of £19.99 saves £10.00 off mrrp of £29.99.
