DVD/Blu-Ray Special Features • Interview with Joanna McCallum (Googie Withers’s daughter) • Interview with Melanie Williams (focusing on Women at Ealing) • Behind the Scenes stills gallery • Restoration Comparison The Digital Film restoration was funded by StudioCanal in collaboration with the BFI’s Unlocking Film Heritage programme (awarding funds from the National Lottery).
