BRITISH CRIME CAPER “THE NIGHT WE GOT THE BIRD” SET FOR DVD RELEASE (PG)

Part of “The British Film” collection

A host of British comedy luminaries – including veteran farceur Sir Brian Rix and, in his last film role, actor and stand-up comedian Ronald Shiner – star in this good-natured comic caper charting the misadventures of a hapless bunch of Brighton-based petty crooks dogged by disaster at every turn. THE NIGHT WE GOT THE BIRD (PG) is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited cinema aspect ratio. Own it on DVD on 21 October 2013, RRP £9.99.

Special Features:

• Full frame as-filmed version of main feature
