    'An intimate documentary portrait of England's greatest lost musical genius' Will Hodgkinson, The Guardian ˜Arguably the greatest pop star Britain never had.' Alexia Petridis, The Guardian As lead singer of the much-loved bands Felt, Denim and Go-Kart Mozart, Lawrence is one of true cult artists of the British indie music scene, without really ever troubling the charts over his 40 year career. First released in 2012, Paul Kelly's (Saint Etienne's The London Trilogy, Dexys' Nowhere is Home) intimate portrait was a labour of love which was eight years in the making. It follows Lawrence between Go Kart Mozart albums, weighed down by the chips on his shoulders while still dreaming of being a pop star who rides in limousines and dates supermodels. Previously only available on a long-deleted DVD, this new BFI edition presents Lawrence of Belgravia one of the most outstanding music documentaries of the last 10 years on Blu-ray for the very first time.

This third screen version of Dashiell Hammett's novel is a film of firsts: John Huston's directorial debut rotund 62-year-old Sydney Greenstreet's screen debut film history's first film noir and Bogart's breakthrough role after years as a Warner contract player. When George Raft refused to work with a first-time director Bogart took on the role of Spade - and launched the most acclaimed period of his career. An all-star cast (including Greenstreet Mary Astor Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr.) join Bogart in this crisply written sizzler that placed in the top quarter of the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest American Films list.
