A lavish sequel to 1937's celebrated film biography Victoria the Great, this sumptuous historical epic once again recounts the life and reign of Queen Victoria this time in glorious Technicolor. Given unprecedented access to the royal palaces, director Herbert Wilcox re-casts Anna Neagle as Victoria and Anton Walbrook as Prince Albert in a film which again met with worldwide acclaim. It is presented here in a brand-new High Definition transfer from the best available film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Beginning in 1840 with her marriage to Prince Albert against a backdrop of discontent and the spectre of revolution throughout Europe, the film shows key events and relationships during Victoria's reign, during which with the counsel of her 'angel', Albert the occasionally capricious queen won the deep affection of her people and redefined the role of the monarchy.
Anna Neagle gives one of her finest performances in a moving study of Florence Nightingale's fight to improve conditions for soldiers wounded in the Crimean War. Directed by Herbert Wilcox, The Lady with a Lamp co-stars Neagle's regular screen partner Michael Wilding and is presented in a brand-new High Definition transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited aspect ratio. A landowner's daughter, drawn to nursing by her strong faith, travels to Turkey to care for British soldiers wounded in the Crimea. Appalled by the squalid conditions that are claiming more lives than the fighting itself, she devotes her energies to the drive to improve care and sanitation. As a woman in the mid-nineteenth century, it is not the only battle she will face but her tireless campaign of reform will lay the foundation for modern nursing, and make her a national icon.

Based on the play by Reginald Berkeley Herbert Wilcox's film charts Nightingale's dramatic life story from her early years in society through to her pioneering reform work in the nursing service of the 19th century England.
Alongside Victoria The Great the film to which this is the sequel Sixty Glorious Years is a fine early example of the kind of lavish sweeping romance on which Anna Neagle built her career. Although it was the years during and after the war in which she truly sealed her position as the brightest star of the day her magisterial performance as a monarch who was in 1938 still very much part of collective living memory drew great acclaim and undoubtedly paved the way for successes to come.

Five of those films are released on this box set: 'First Love' 'Three Smart Girls Grow Up' 'Can't Help Singing' 'The Amazing Miss Holliday' and 'For The Love of Mary'.
