The Pleasure Garden released on DVD - The British Film Institute (BFI) have just released The Pleasure Garden on DVD. Filmed among the ruins of The Crystal Palace Terraces, 'The Pleasure Garden' is a playful and poetic ode to desire, and winner of the Prix de Fantasie Poetique at Canne in 1954. Made by the American poet James Broughton, the film features Hattie Jacques and Lindsay Anderson, with John le Mesurier as the bureaucrat determined to stamp out any form of free expression. We have photographs from the production of the film in the Lindsay Anderson Collection (LA/6/2/1/5) which are available to view on the Stirling University Archives Flickr site.
