The Gentle Gunman - UK DVD premiere The Baby and The Battleship - UK DVD premiere It’s Great To Be Young - UK DVD premiere The Family Way A highly versatile actor, Mills appeared in roles across all genres from family films and comedies to period adaptations and unflinching issue-based dramas. This collection brings together four of John Mills’ films that perfectly demonstrate his amazing range and versatility. The Baby and the Battleship is a hilarious high-seas farce about a couple of likely-lad sailors who accidentally smuggle a baby onto their vessel. It’s Great To Be Young! is a heart-warming movie that sees Mills as a forward-thinking music teacher who inspires his students to stand up for what they believe. The Gentle Gunman is a tense drama with Mills about the IRA in wartime London. The Family Way is a compelling slice of 1960s realism about a newlywed couple where Mills plays opposite his real-life daughter Hayley. THE GENTLE GUNMAN (1952) At the height of World War Two, Terry (John Mills) and his younger brother Matt (Dirk Bogarde) are undercover IRA foot-soldiers working in London. But while Matt is fully committed to the cause, Terry is now beginning to question their violent methods... Directed by Basil Drearden (The Blue Lamp) and produced by the famous Ealing Studios, The Gentle Gunman is an explosive exploration of terrorism.
