The Green Man on Blu-ray, DVD and digital [read more]
Killer sense of humour
STUDIOCANAL is delighted to announce the release of a newly restored version of the classic British black comedy, THE GREEN MAN.
Starring the scintillating Alastair Sim (A Christmas Carol, School for Scoundrels), directed by Robert Day ('The Avengers') and with a BAFTA nominated screenplay by Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder (The Lady Vanishes), this enormously entertaining farce originally released in 1956, will be available to own on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital on May 18.
Supporting Sim are an exemplarity cast of the era that includes George Cole (The Happiest Days of Your Life), Terry-Thomas (School for Scoundrels), Jill Adams (Private's Progress) and Raymond Huntley (Night Train to Munich). A farce that ticks all the genre's boxes (mistaken identities, compromising positions, much panicking and slamming of doors), the film makes an interesting companion piece to Ealing's The Ladykillers (1955).
Looking better than ever before thanks to the new restoration and bundled with brand new bonus content, THE GREEN MAN is a welcome addition to the Vintage Classics collection. Pre-order at the link above.
