An Accidental Studio

In the late '70s, after controversy scared off the original backers of "Monty Python's Life of Brian," former Beatle George Harrison mortgaged his home to step in... and started a production house that jump-started a moribund British film industry in the course of it's decade-long heyday. This affectionate look back at the rise and fall of HandMade Films, offering observations from principals of "The Long Good Friday," "Time Bandits," "Mona Lisa," "Withnail & I" and other signature efforts, is a must for film fans of the era. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
