WILL HAY - THE RANK COLLECTION - VOLUME 1-4 A little info on Will Hay: Will Hay was an English comedian who wrote and acted in a schoolmaster sketch that was popular all over the world, and later transferred to the screen, where he also played other authority figures with comic failings. His film Oh, Mr. Porter! (1937), made by Gainsborough Pictures, is often cited as the supreme British-produced film-comedy, and in 1938 he was the third highest-grossing star in the UK. Many famous comedians have acknowledged him as a major influence. Hay was also a keen amateur astronomer. These amazing movies run from 1935 thru 1939....an incredible time for comedies. Will Hay's name (at least in America) is not as well recalled as Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy or W.C. Fields. This is not to say that their brands of humor were similar; they were not; the point being that lovers of good comedy ought to consider discovering for themselves this brilliant artist. As a writer and deliverer of long-winded dialogue, Hay stands in a select circle. The joke is always on him as he stumbles and blusters his way through one catastrophe after another. Remarkable is the sheer memory of the man for retaining improbably long recitations and nonsensical jabber. Just to look at his mug is enough to start the body shaking with amusement. What we in the states called vaudeville, the Brits called the music hall, and some of the keenest wits on either side of the Atlantic emerged from such training grounds. Once exposed to the madcap Will Hay, his name will be less forgotten by one more person. Here are the following films you will receive on these delightful sets: BOYS WILL BE BOYS - 1935 WHERE THER'S A WILL - 1936 WINDBAG THE SAILOR - 1936 GOOD MORNING, BOYS - 1937 OH, MR.
