<br/><br/> "Widely considered to be one of Britain's greatest filmmakers, Humphrey Jennings has long been celebrated as the director of works which beautifully capture the everyday heroism in times of war and peace. This, the first of three volumes which collect together Jennings' entire output, gathers 14 films from 1934-1940 and provides a fascinating insight into his early days as a filmmaker learning and developing his craft"--Container.
