StudioCanal will add to its Vintage Classics collection Anthony Asquith's film The Winslow Boy (1948), starring Robert Donat, Margaret Leighton, Cedric Hardwicke, Basil Radford, and Kathleen Harrison. The release will be available for purchase on February 3.

Synopsis: Directed by Anthony Asquith (The Browning Version) and adapted from the seminal play by Terence Rattigan (The Deep Blue Sea), The Winslow Boy is a classic tale of standing up to bureaucracy and one family's testing fight for justice.
The Winslow Boy follows the tribulations of an Edwardian naval cadet who is accused of the theft of a 5 shilling postal order, then expelled from his academy. On returning home his father becomes determined to clear his name and prove his innocence after what he considers an unfair internal inquiry. During his pursuit for justice the case eventually reaches The House Of Commons to cause public outcry and a political furor. A thoroughly British, searing drama about the conquest for truth and the sacrifices that come with it.
