1941 musical classic Danny Boy comes to DVD this July

Danny Boy

The first ever DVD release of this digitally remastered and restored drama

Director: Oswald Mitchell
Starring: David Farrar, Wilfrid Lawson and Ann Todd

"A slightly shortened version of a film once thought to be lost, but now restored from a collector's 16mm print... Lots of traditional old songs, including Love's Old Sweet Song, Mountains O'Mourne, If Tears Could Bring You Back and Abide With Me - to induce tears in the unwary." - Sky Movies

Oswald Mitchell co-wrote and directed this 1941 musical Signet Production for Butchers. This was a remake of Oswald's own 1934 production, a story of Jayne Kaye (Ann Todd), a successful singer in America who returns to Britain during the Blitz to find her ex-husband and son who have fallen on hard times. John Warwick comes across well as the downtrodden but honest father and there is great enthusiasm from the rest of the cast. With some extensive restoration work; we are delighted with the finished result.
