These superb DVD box-sets from Optimum celebrate the best in classic cinema and make the perfect gift for Christmas. Featuring some of the greatest British movies of all time, they include the ST TRINIAN’S BOX-SET (Belles Of St Trinian’s / Blue Murder At St Trinian’s / The Great St Trinian’s Train Robbery / Pure Hell Of St Trinian’s). Together for the first time in this indispensable box-set, these four classic St Trinian’s titles follow the adventures of the notorious all-girl school and its wild and unruly pupils, starring George Cole, Joyce Grenfell, Alastair Sim, Frankie Howerd and Beryl Reid. AGATHA CHRISTIE BOX-SET (Death On The Nile / Evil Under The Sun / The Mirror Crack’d Murder On The Orient Express). Essential viewing for any fan of the ‘whodunit’, this set contains three classic Poirot mysteries perfectly complimented by a Miss Marple outing. The starry casts include Geraldine Chaplin, Tony Curtis, Edward Fox, Rock Hudson, Kim Novak, Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Bisset, Sean Connery, Anthony Perkins, Michael York and Vanessa Redgrave. GRAHAM GREENE BOX-SET (The Third Man / Brighton Rock / Fallen Idol / Heart Of The Matter). An influential film critic, Graham Greene’s contribution to British cinema is possibly the greatest of any writer of his - or indeed any other - generation. These four films, collected together here for the first time, perfectly encapsulate the cinema of Graham Greene: tense, atmospheric, and brilliantly performed, they offer both great entertainment and profound explorations of moral choice. BRITISH COMIC ICONS - PETER SELLERS COLLECTION (Heavens Above! / I’m Alright, Jack / Only Two Can Play / Very Best Of Peter Sellers) True comic genius Peter Sellers stars in three of his classic comedies from the late ‘50s / early ‘60s in this exclusive box-set. Heavens Above! is a British comedy of manners par excellence in which Sellers’ socialist priest is mistakenly sent to an upper-crust parish; I’m Alright, Jack won Sellers a BAFTA for Best Actor and the set is completed by a definitive collection of his best work on TV: The Very Best Of Peter Sellers. BRITISH COMIC ICONS - ALASTAIR SIM (The Green Man / Folly To Be Wise / Geordie / Left Right and Centre / Laughter in Paradise). Much loved actor Alistair Sim was both popular and critically acclaimed, BAFTA nominated as well as topping the cinemagoers popularity poll. BRITISH COMIC ICONS – WILL HAY (Ghost of St. Michaels / Black Sheep of Whitehall / Radio Parade of 1935). Will Hay was an esteemed comedian and versatile entertainer. Particularly prolific in the 1930s, he was a genuine part of the golden age of film, starting out in the Fred Karno Comedy Troupe, whose members included Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel. NICK BROOMFIELD COLLECTON (Kurt and Courtney / Bigggie and Tupac / Aileen: Life And Death Of A Serial Killer / Aileen Wournos: The Selling Of A Serial Killer). Drawn from the period following the director’s relocation to America in search of new subjects, the four films in this collection adopt the guise of portraits of iconic individuals to reveal deeper, more resonant realities about injustice.
