The Birthday Present (1957)

It is only the beginning of his woes; his employer is understanding but is ultimately forced to sack Simon, who discovers that finding another job under such circumstances is extremely difficult.

Tony Britton, Sylvia Syms and Geoffrey Keen star in this BAFTA-nominated drama focusing on a man whose life is turned upside down by the far-reaching repercussions of an ill-judged action.

Baxter! (1973)

Roger Baxter is a 12-year-old American lad, engaging, warm and sensitive, who has never seen, felt or known love. His parents have always been too preoccupied with their own failures to recognise his needs. Then the marriage breaks up and, after the divorce, the boy’s mother – a stupid rather than an evil person – brings him to London, hoping to make a fresh start. And it is here, for the first time, that Roger comes into contact with love; three kinds of love that are to make him even more aware of his unhappiness and frustration.

Sympathetic, moving, but never sentimental, Baxter! features accomplished performances from Patricia Neal (Breakfast At Tiffany’s, The Day The Earth Stood Still), Britt Ekland (The Wicker Man, Get Carter), Sally Thompsett (Straw Dogs, The Railway Children) and Scott Jacoby (One Life To Live, Bad Ronald) as the film’s young protagonist. The film was helmed by favourite character actor turned director Lionel Jeffries, whose two preceding films in the director's chair were perennial favourites The Railway Children and The Amazing Mr. Blunden.

Baxter! (12) will be available to own on DVD from 1st September 2014 by Network Distributing at the RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network Distributing's 'The British Film' collection.
