Synopsis:

21 Days Together:
Laurence Olivier plays a young Londoner implicated in a brutal murder.
The Rise of Catherine the Great:
Straightforward biography of the Russian empress, up to her assumption of the throne.
Over the Moon:
Romantic comedy about a rich heiress and a penniless doctor.
Knight Without Armour:
A young Englishman becomes involved in the Russian Revolution and falls in love with a Russian Countess.
Wedding Rehearsal:
Quite popular when first released, Wedding Rehearsal is a bit obscure today, which is a shame when one considers the talented cast and production staff.

21 Days Together:
Laurence Olivier plays a young Londoner implicated in a brutal murder. According to the rules of British law, he is permitted 21 days of comparative freedom from the time of the first hearing to the time of trial -- provided he does not leave London. As the three weeks pass, Olivier falls deeply in love with girlfriend Vivien Leigh, who at first believes in his innocence. But as the deadline approaches, Olivier's mood swings and erratic behavior shakes Leigh's faith in him. Scripted by British suspense expert Graham Greene, 21 Days Together was originally released under the simpler title 21 Days.

The Rise of Catherine the Great:
Straightforward biography of the Russian empress, up to her assumption of the throne.

Over the Moon:
Romantic comedy about a rich heiress and a penniless doctor.

Knight Without Armour:
A young Englishman becomes involved in the Russian Revolution and falls in love with a Russian Countess.

Wedding Rehearsal:
Quite popular when first released, Wedding Rehearsal is a bit obscure today, which is a shame when one considers the talented cast and production staff. Roland Young plays a diffident aristocrat who is pressured to marry by his veddy proper family. Imagine their shock when Young falls in love with (ugh!) a commoner. His working-class bride is played by Merle Oberon, who in real life became the wife of the film's producer/director Alexander Korda. The very first effort from Korda's London Film Productions, Wedding Reharsal costarred theatrical giant Maurice Evans and Hollywood stars-to-be John Loder and Wendy Barrie.
