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 its 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.
