A Kid For Two Farthings (DVD + Blu-ray)
Directed by Carol Reed
Carol Reed's last film for the legendary Alexander Korda and his first in colour is the whimsical tale of a young boy, Joe, who buys a small goat in the belief it's a magical unicorn that will grant him and his friends wishes. Counter-balancing this is the equally childlike romance of Sonia (Diana Dors) and her body-building boyfriend Sam (Joe Robinson), and the latter's misguided involvement with crooked wrestling promoter Blackie Isaacs (Lou Jacobi).
A very rare example of an Anglo-Jewish film, it was partly shot on location in Petticoat Lane in London's East End, at the heart of what was still a thriving Jewish community.
Special features:
- Presented in High Definition and Standard Definition
- ***FIRST PRESSING ONLY*** fully illustrated booklet with new writing on the film and full film credits
- Other extras TBC
