It is the autumn of 1913 and Europe stands on the brink of the war to end all wars. A country house party assembles to celebrate a world that is passing into history; and gunfire in the depths of the English countryside will soon be heard in the killing fields of Flanders. The Shooting Party brilliantly captures a moment in time in a story that will stay with you forever.
An undisputed classic of the British screen, "The Shooting Party" is at last available on DVD, stunningly restored in high definition by its distinguished cinematographer Fred Tammes. In his final film James Mason leads a superb cast including Edward Fox, Robert Hardy, Gordon Jackson and John Gielgud in a heart-rending and penetrating adaptation of Isabel Colegate’s compelling masterpiece.
