From the celebrated director-producer team of Basil Dearden and Michael Relph (The Gentle Gunman, The Ship That Died of Shame) comes Saraband for Dead Lovers, the first colour production from Britain's legendary Ealing Studios. In this sumptuous historical romance, a teenage princess (Joan Greenwood, Girl Stroke Boy) is trapped in a loveless marriage to Prince George Louis of Hanover (Peter Bull, The Old Dark House), heir to the British throne. To escape the boredom, she begins a dangerous affair with Count Philip Konigsmark (Stewart Granger, Footsteps in the Fog), an affair with potentially terrible consequences for the pair... Adapted from a novel by Helen Simpson (Under Capricorn) by Alexander Mackendrick (Whisky Galore!) and John Dighton (Kind Hearts and Coronets), scored by acclaimed composer Alan Rawsthorne (The Cruel Sea), and shot in ravishing three-strip Technicolor by the great Douglas Slocombe (The Young Ones, Murphy's War), Saraband for Dead Lovers is a glorious feast for the eyes and ears.
