The film "Oh Mr Porter (1937)" is shared widely.
Does anyone have any of his other films to share please.
Eg
The Goose Steps out.
The Black Sheep of Whitehall.
My Learned Friend.
Go to Blazes.
The Big Blockage (wartime propaganda film).
The Ghost of St. Michaels.
Where's that fire.
Ask a Policeman.
Hey Hey USA.
Convict 99.
Boys will be Boys.
Etc Etc.... see IMDB For more.
Many thanks in anticipation.
There was a 9-film Will Hay boxset released on DVD in 2008. Never seen a rip of it though.
Also, does 1 torrent on TPB classify something as, "Widely Shared"?
Re Oh Mr Porter / ClockworkApocalypse yes I think it does TPB RARGB and all the significant sites have it and its rock solid.
Hope someone shares the box set.
I bought my late father a boxset of Will Hay films back in the 1990s.
I don't know what happened to the disks though.

His films were on UK TV all the time when I was a kid in the 70s. Even on in the 80s. I suspect a lot of them aren't PC enough for broadcast today. The 9-film set does contain what are probably his least probematic films. Also, there's a chance that some of his older films are lost now
There is this collection.

That's one of those bootleg compilation sets. It's not an official release. Most, if not all, will be VHS to DVD transfers, with most, if not all, VHS sources being TV recordings. Not sayi ng it's not worth sharing, just a head's up.
My two favourite lines from the ad for that set:
"This Collection is Presented to you on 6 High Quality Maxell or Polaroid Discs not cheap media like some on EBay sell their items on!"
"Obviously these Movies are old so don't expect 21 Century Movie Quality. Having said that these movies are very watchable and enjoyable and are well presented for the times."
LOL "Watchable" is such a subjective term these days. One person's watchable is another person's "AAH! AAH! My eyes are bleeding!"

Yep, though the 3rd one isn't a boxset, it's the 75th anniversary remastering of a single film.
The 9-disc set you mentioned earlier is 100% unofficial.
Let's hope someone shares either individually or as a collection what ever the source.
Hope this post helps anyone interested to locate some classic Will Hay comedy films from the 1930s.
.
The following 9 titles are free to view/download from Archive.org so it would be pointless to waste torrent space.
Boys Will Be Boys
Oh Mr Porter
Where's There's a Will
Windbag the Sailor
Ask a Policeman
Old Bones of the River
Where's that Fire
Good Morning Boys
Hey Hey USA
IF ANYONE HAS ANY of the 10 OTHERS... Please share them.
