The Amorous Prawn DVD from Network and The British Film.
With a cast starring British film icons Dennis Price, Ian Carmichael and Cecil Parker, screenplay and direction by Anthony Kimmins and a score by legendary composer John Barry, The Amorous Prawn is a stellar feature in every respect.
Starring Joan Greenwood as a general’s wife whose money-spinning manoeuvre causes ructions in their Highlands HQ, this entertainingly boisterous comedy adapting Kimmins‘ long-running West-End stage hit is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
When General Fitzadam receives his final posting in the remote Scottish Highlands, his wife decides to turn their residence into a hotel for wealthy Americans. Unfortunately Lady Fitzadam declines to brief the General on ’Operation Lolly’ – an attempt to raise the cash needed to buy their dream cottage – and smouldering confusion explodes into a full-scale riot when he makes an unexpected return to find amorous advances among the flower beds, suspicious shenanigans in the greenhouse and blatant bribery on the salmon lake!

The British Film collection was launched by Network Distributing in April 2013 as part of a five-year plan to release over 450 vintage British films through a deal with Studiocanal, one of Europe’s leading distribution and production companies. Many of the films have never been available to own and will benefit from new transfers, affirming Network Distributing’s commitment to classic British cinema.
Titles include significant works from studios including Associated Talking Pictures, Ealing Studios, London Films, British Lion, Associated British Picture Corporation and EMI from the Studiocanal archive.
