Synopsis:

Affable, bright and breezy Kenneth More epitomised the traditional English virtues of fortitude and fun. At the height of his fame in the 1950s he was Britain's most popular film star and had appeared in a string of box office hits including Genevieve (1953), Doctor in the House (1954), Reach for the Sky (1956) and A Night to Remember (1958). Like many British actors, he commuted between film and theatre and steadily became of or Britain's most treasured actors. This 5 disc collection celebrates some of his greatest work.

Films include:

Chance of a Lifetime (1950): The workers in a small plough factory take over the firm, but when a large order falls through, the old management come back to help out.

Genevieve (1953): Two friends race their vintage cars on the annual London to Brighton rally. But once they place a 'friendly' wager on who will win the race the competitive juices start flowing! Genevieve is the name of one of the cars, which, like her competitor, runs into one problem after another.

A Night to Remember (1958): Based on the best selling book by Walter Lord, this is the true story of the R.M.S. Titanic which struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Europe to New York in 1912.

North West Frontier (1959): Captain Scott (More) is sent by the British Governor in India to rescue a five year old Hindu prince and his American governess (Bacall) when a rebellion breaks out among the tribesmen. Pursued by the abductors, the trio commandeer a derelict steam train to take them 300 miles through the mountains to safety...

Reach for the Sky (1956): A story of one man's indomitable courage and endurance. As a young sports-loving Pilot Officer, Douglas Bader loses both legs in a flying accident. Not only does he overcome his devastating disability; he goes on to become a Battle of Britain ace. Eventually Bader is shot down and imprisoned in Germany. In 1945 when three hundred aircraft fly in triumph over London led by a solitary Spitfire, the honour of leading the fly-past goes to Douglas Bader. This is the story of one of the few to whom so many owed so much.

Features the Kenneth More films CHANCE OF A LIFETIME, GENEVIEVE, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, NORTH WEST FRONTIER, and REACH FOR THE SKY.
