Law And Disorder (1940) (DVD)

Michael Redgrave and Robert Morley head a stellar cast in this marvellous comedy of skulduggery and deception from Ealing Studios lynchpin Charles Crichton and Oscar-winning screenwriter T.E.B. Clarke - best known as the team behind The Lavender Hill Mob. Law and Disorder is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Percy Brand's growing son, Colin, thinks his father is a clergyman, when Percy's real vocation is that of confidence trickster - his frequent spells 'inside' explained away as missionary trips abroad. When Colin studies law and eventually becomes a judge's marshal, his father feels bound to retire to a fishing village. But he cannot keep away from his life of crime, and in no time at all he's getting involved in the local squire's brandy smuggling activities...
