The 1970s, the decade of decimalisation, miners’ strikes and joining the EEC (as it was then!) It was also a decade when some unique British movies were produced, and we include 4 contrasting ones in this box set. Quest For Love (1971) Joan Collins and Tom Bell star in this thrilling drama.

Colin must find a way of negotiating through this new reality to save his marriage to his beautiful wife, Otillie (Joan Collins). That’s Your Funeral (1972) The 1970s saw many successful film spin-offs from successful TV series, and THAT’S YOUR FUNERAL was one of the best.

Nothing But The Night (1973) British thriller starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Diana Dors.
