"Missing" Films

Can you help, please? Silver Sirens is trying to track down elusive Margaret Lockwood films. Here is the complete list:

The Case of Gabriel Perry
Honours Easy
Some Day
Jury's Evidence
Irish for Luck
The Street Singer
Who's Your Lady Friend?
Dear Octopus
The White Unicorn
Look Before You Love

Television series such as The Royalty and The Flying Swan are also very much of interest.

There is a short discussion about some of Lockwood's "missing" films at the BritMovie forum: http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/latest-dvd-releases/1...

I have contacted ITV DVD, but unfortunately they are not planning a follow-up to the recent Margaret Lockwood DVD.

Joan Greenwood films that are of interest are:

John Smith Wakes Up
My Wife's Family
They Knew Mr Knight - Found!
The Man Within
The White Unicorn
Flesh and Blood
Knave of Hearts
Hest på Sommerferie

If you have these films, know any rumours about availability - anything really, please do either post here in the forum or e-mail me privately through the site.

I think Some Day and Irish For Luck are 'missing', according to the BFI. They did include stills in their book 'Missing Believed Lost', though.

Yes, the complete list of films can be found here: http://www.britishpictures.com/articles/missing.htm

Scans of the pictures that you mentioned might look good on this site!

Aw, I really want to see The White Unicorn because Margaret's 'Toots' is in it and I'd love to see them act together. Same goes for The Flying Swan for the same reason. I hope that they can be tracked down somehow, someday....

Me too! I don't have that BFI book, but I think my old uni library does; there are secondhand copies online too, so maybe I'll invest...
