Adapted from Arthur Pinero\'s relentlessly popular stage farce The Magistrate, Those Were the Days was a perfect early vehicle for the comedic brilliance of Will Hay. Hay\'s feature-length debut is a typically entertaining study of the upstanding but ineffectual magistrate, Mr Poskett, while a youthful John Mills is the 20-year-old stepson who must pretend to be 15 to preserve the secret of his mother\'s falsified age; Angela Baddeley and veteran character-comedians Claude Allister, H.F. Maltby and George Graves are among an impressive supporting cast.Presented in a brand-new digital transfer from the original film elements, this rare cinematic gem directed by former variety star Thomas Bentley notably includes a wonderful evocation of the atmosphere of an 1890s music hall, with Lily Morris and Harry Bedford among a number of leading acts featured.SPECIAL FEATURES[] Image Gallery [] Original Script PDF Running Time: 77 minutes Region: Region 2 Release Date: 9 Jun. 2014
