ReIeased in 1930 by British lnternational Pictures in response to the Iavish revues being produced by the major Hollywood studios, EIstree CaIling was Britain's first musical film.
This aIl-star vaudeviIle show features performers drawn from some of the era's most popular London productions, including Cicely Courtneidge, Anna May Wong, John Longden, and music-hall veterans WiIl Fyffe and Lily Morris. Compèred by Tommy HandIey, the film presents nineteen comedy and musical sketches in the guise of a 'live' teIevision broadcast; Alfred Hitchcock - then under contract to BIP - was responsible for creating the sketches and Iinking materiaI.
A fascinating snapshot of the earIiest years of the British musical film and rareIy seen since its originaI reIease, Elstree CalIing is made availabIe here in a brand-new transfer from the original elements in its as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio. Several sequences in the film were originally artificiaIIy coIoured using the Pathécolor system and those coIour sequences are intact here.
