Art & HueOnce More with Ealing
This year marks 75 years since the release of run of classic Ealing films which gave birth to the moniker of “Ealing Comedies”.
Produced under the stewardship of Michael Balcon at Ealing Studios, “Passport to Pimlico” was one of the most popular films of 1949 and, along with “Whisky Galore!”, “Kind Hearts & Coronets” & “A Run for Your Money”, all released in the same year within the space of a few months, firmly established the Ealing Comedies.
The studios had released comedies previously, such as “Hue & Cry” in 1947 and “Another Shore” in 1948, but Ealing’s prolific output in 1949 was a boom period for the studios, with critical and commercial success.
As part of the 75th anniversary, cinemas across the country are showing classic films by Ealing Studios on the big screen for the “Once More with Ealing” celebration.
Some of the cinemas taking part include:
