The Jessie Matthews Revue: Volume 6 (UK-import)
Throughout the 1930s Jessie Matthews was Britain's best-loved musical film star, her dynamism and gamine charm beguiling audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. With a string of box-office hits spotlighting her unique talent, it's easy to see how she became so popular and why she remains so to this day. Showcasing some the era's finest cinema talent including Betty Balfour, Emlyn Williams, Alfred Junge and actor/director (and Matthews' husband) Sonnie Hale the two films in this set are presented as transfers from the original film elements, in their original theatrical aspect ratios.
