I already have Hue And Cry on Blu-ray disc but I'd love to have the other three films too.

Alistair Sim is one of the greatest but not so well known to American audiences. I hope Green for Danger and more of his films get US releases. He's great in The Ruling Class and Hitchcock's Stage Fright.

Alastair Sim is so great! Would love to see more of his movies released--Green for Danger, Inspector Calls.

An Inspector Calls is out next month from Kino. If you're region free, Green for Danger is out in the UK.

The U. K. Blu-ray disc of Green For Danger is sub-standard. I was very disappointed with it. Alistair Sim, of course, was excellent.

Criterions Green For Danger is a delight!

Most in the US would reccognise him from his "Scruge" in the Christmas Carol, but so many of the UK films had this wonderful actor in them!!

So you did. That's a rather odd thing for them to do.

Sorry, I don’t know what to tell you?

I followed your link and it says nothing to suggest it's UHD. It does say it's a 4K restoration .. a far different thing.

His truly great dramatic role in Scrooge called for a Oscar nod at the very least - Better Davis called him one of the greatest actors of the day - even visiting the set

The extras on BELLES/SCOUNDRELS seem to be identical to the UK Blurays.
Scoundrels looked lovely, though Belles was not "wow" but was acceptable. No sign of the other St Trinians yet on bluray, but BLUE MURDER and PURE HELL have been shown in HD on BBC2, not TRAIN ROBBERY though which has always looked a little rough on home video/tv showings
