A selection of films, most of which are far better than those of today - many with a strong propaganda element.

Mrs Miniver (1942) - DVD

Price: £10.95

In 1942, 'Mrs Miniver' not only garnered six Academy Awards including Best Picture - but also greatly assisted the war effort!

Following the fortunes of an English housewife and her family as Britain goes to war with Germany 'Mrs Miniver' gives a rather middle class but certainly enchanting view of life on the home front.

Superman: Volcano - DVD

Price: £6.99

With over an hour of Classic Animation this DVD features 8 Superman cartoons all of which were produced during World War Two. The wartime propaganda influance of these American made cartoons can be easily seen with the Japanese featuring as the enemy and Superman doing his bit for the war effort. An interesting addition to your wartime DVD collection.

His Girl Friday - DVD

Price: £6.99

Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy

As a flawed and utterly irresistable newspaper editor, Cary Grant lets loose his funny side in this madcap romantic comedy. A film that is every bit as enjoyable now as the day it debuted in 1940.
