Rarely seen crime caper The Galloping Major will be
available to own on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital from August 8th.
Directed by Henry Cornelius (I Am a Camera, Passport to Pimlico) and based on an idea by Basil Radford (The Captive Heart, Whisky Galore!), The Galloping Major is part of the Romulus Film
Catalogue and features a stellar cast of the era including Basil Radford,
Jimmy Hanley (The Blue Lamp, The Captive Heart), Hugh Griffith (Oliver!, Kind Hearts and Coronets), Janette Scott (School for Scoundrels, As Long as They’re Happy), A.E. Matthews (Laughter in Paradise, Whisky Galore!) and Charles Victor (The Ringer, Major Barbara).
After a successful day at the races, Major Arthur Hill (Basil Radford) and
Harold Temple (Hugh Griffith) decide to raise a £300 syndicate to buy a
certain racehorse. With excited help from their friends (Janette Scott,
Jimmy Hanley, Rene Ray, Joyce Grenfell, A. E. Matthews) they get the
money, but things don't go so smoothly from here. First, they accidently
buy the wrong horse which proves to have more of an affinity for jumping
than racing. They then decide to train it themselves as a jumper under the
new name "The Galloping Major". However, on the night before the Grand
National, the horse mysteriously disappears...
We've got two blu-ray of The Galloping Major to give away.
The winners are:
