Shot among the overgrown ruins of London’s Crystal Palace terraces, this 1953 short pits free-spirited eccentrics — dancing, romping, and celebrating pleasure — against a stern puritanical bureaucrat determined to stamp it all out. Featuring performances by Hattie Jacques, Lindsay Anderson, and John Le Mesurier, the film unfolds as a playful ode to human freedom and the enduring power of art to defy repression. Winner of the Prix de Fantaisie Poétique at Cannes, this title remains a standout of post-war experimental cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Used\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: VHS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirector: James Broughton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Facets Video (Films Of James Broughton Vol. 3)","brand":"Chicago Grindhouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48406163325157,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/3507\/9909\/files\/479c5377-39fe-4c4f-874c-dc92ceec95d1.jpg?v=1770947331","url":"https:\/\/chicagogrindhouse.us\/products\/the-pleasure-garden-vhs-used","provider":"Chicago Grindhouse ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
