Simon and Laura [DVD] (1955)

Multiple-award-winning screen legend Peter Finch stars alongside Kay Kendall, Muriel Pavlow and Ian Carmichael in this whimsical satire on then-BBC programming that prefigures the current Reality TV landscape by fifty years! Adapted from Alan Melville's hit West End play and directed by Oscar-winner Muriel Box, Simon and Laura is featured here as a brand-new remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio. A cunning idea for a new television programme showing the trials and tribulations of a famous married couple seems a surefire hit. But this perfect couple with their perfect life also argue, bicker and throw things at each other regularly when no-one is watching... Can they keep up their façade for the viewing millions?
