Film Description
With a career spanning over five decades, David Niven was one of Britain’s greatest ever movie stars. Urbane, sophisticated and debonair, he was cinema’s quintessential gentleman - instantly recognisable with his trademark pencil moustache, wily smile and affable manner. A prolific actor, Niven started his career as an extra on westerns and worked his way up through the Hollywood studio system to the very top. Although best known for his screen comedies, Niven was an incredibly versatile actor and excelled in dramatic roles, winning both an Oscar and a Golden Globe as Best Actor.
This collection brings together some of Niven’s very finest moments. Bonnie Prince Charlie (Kimmins, 1948) is a rip-roaring historical epic about the 1745 Scottish revolt. The Love Lottery (Crichton, 1954) is a sharp satire on Hollywood and celebrity from Ealing Studios. Happy Ever After (Zampi, 1954) is a hilarious comedy of errors. Eternally Yours (Garnett, 1939) sees Niven star as an enigmatic magician opposite Loretta Young. And Happy Go Lovely (Humberstone, 1951) is a high-kicking romantic musical comedy featuring dancing star Vera-Ellen.

Review by MovieMail on 6th May 2008
Urbane, sophisticated and debonair, David Niven was cinema’s quintessential gentleman. Instantly recognisable with his trademark pencil moustache, wily smile and affable manner, he was also one of Britain’s greatest movie stars. A prolific actor in a career spanning over five decades, Niven started his career as an extra on westerns and worked his way up through the Hollywood studio system to the very top. Although best known for his screen comedies, he was a versatile actor and excelled in dramatic roles, winning both an Oscar and a Golden Globe as Best Actor.
This delightful collection brings together five of Niven’s finest moments, with a number of the films making their dvd premiere. Bonnie Prince Charlie is a rip-roaring historical epic about the 1745 Scottish revolt, while The Love Lottery is a sharp satire on Hollywood and celebrity from Ealing Studios. Happy Ever After is a hilarious comedy of errors, Eternally Yours sees Niven star as an enigmatic magician opposite Loretta Young. Completing the set in fine style is Happy Go Lovely, a high-kicking romantic musical comedy featuring dancing star Vera-Ellen.
