ST. MARTINS LANE video & audio upgrade

About

This print is sharper and with less shrill audio than the existing IA copies.

A seriocomic tale of London buskers (street performers) costarring Charles Laughton and Vivien Leigh with a solid supporting cast. A neglected classic that's a must for Laughton and Leigh fans.

Directed by Tim Whelan. UK release 1938. US release 1940. Complete print. a.k.a. "Sidewalks of London"

TRIVIA: First telecast September 11, 1949 on KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles. The theaters shown during the opening credits were later completely destroyed in the London blitz.
