Dead Of Night

Product Description

Ealing Studios output from the 1940s & 1950s helped define what was arguably the golden age for British cinema. It fostered great directors such as Alexander Mackendrick & Robert Hamer while giving stars such as Alec Guinness & Peter Sellers the chance to shine. Starring Mervyn Johns Michael Redgrave & Googie Withers Dead Of Night represented a departure for Ealing from the classic comedy mould & instead a spooky psychological thriller made up of 5 chilling ghost stories. An architect visits a country house only to get trapped in a recurring nightmare involving tales of the occult told by fellow guests at the manor. A portmanteau work from four of Ealings best directors Dead Of Night preyed masterfully on the countrys post-war fears & paranoia.
