John Mills Collection - The Baby and the Battleship / The Family Way / The Gentle Gunman / It's Great to Be Young!

Cinema icon John Mills stars in four classic films, ranging from an IRA thriller to a war-time farce.

'It's Great to Be Young' (1956) - An autocratic new headmaster starts at Angel Hill Grammar and comes to blows with the light-hearted music teacher (Mills) who believes in a positive environment for his beloved pupils. 'The Baby and the Battleship' (1957) - A group of sailors on shore leave go out on the town with a local beauty, with the condition that they take her baby brother along with them. Farce ensues when the next day the girl is gone and the sailors have to smuggle the boy on board and try and keep his existence under wraps. 'The Family Way' (1966) - Two young newlyweds try to start their life together, but nosy neighbours, imposing parents and the town gossips make it a difficult (but heart-warming) start.
