The Complete Humphrey Jennings - Volume 1 - The First Days Blu-Ray + DVD   British Film Institute

Widely considered one of Britain’s greatest documentary filmmakers, Humphrey Jennings has long been critically acclaimed for films which beautifully evoke everyday heroism in times of war and peace. This, the first of three volumes which collect together Jennnings' 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. It features the critically acclaimed Spare Time and London Can Take It!, as well as some previously neglected works and alternative versions, many of which will be available for the first time since their original release.
