Children’s Film Foundation Runaways on DVD [read more]
More gems from the archives
Three films about teens and tearaways made in the 50s, 70s and 80s – one directed by Lewis Gilbert and featuring well-known names like Gary Kemp, Robin Askwith and Terence Morgan – comprise the fifth volume of Children’s Film Foundation films, Runaways, released on DVD by the BFI on 21 April 2014.
Largely shot on location in London and Edinburgh, these rare films, Johnny on the Run (1953), Hide and Seek (1972) and Terry on the Fence (1985), have been digitally re-mastered and come with an illustrated booklet. Thoroughly entertaining, they are also a wonderfully enjoyable reminder of times gone by. There's a clip of Gary at the link above.
The sixth volume of CFF films, Outer Space (including Glitterball), will be released in October as part of the BFI’s major celebration, Things to Come: Science Fiction.
