John Mills Collection has four movies, each film on it's own DVD, from VCI Video. I found the set at Hamilton Books last year for a ten spot, it's currently $25 on Amazon. Worth the money for me, pushing it at $25, especially since I had a copy of The History Of Mr Polly already. It's still cheaper to buy the set than the individual DVDs.

Morning Departure 1950 Based on a play of the same name by Kenneth Wollard, screenplay by William Fairchild, directed by Roy Ward Baker. Morbid story of a submarine that gets sent to the bottom by a mine left over from the war. They have to pick lots to see who stays and who goes, there aren't enough diving suits for everyone, some were damaged in the accident. Fade to black on the last men in the sub. Not one I might want to readily watch again, though it's a fairly well told story, it's still pretty much a downer.
Tiara Tahiti 1962 Based on a a novel by Geoffrey Cotterell, he co-wrote the screenplay with Ivan Foxwell, the director is Ted Kotcheff. John Mills and James Mason knew each other during the war, John was a black market profiteer, James was responsible for getting him kicked out of the regiment. Years pass and John is living the life of leisure in Tahiti, he's got a beautiful girlfriend Rosenda Monteros. James comes to the island, he's director of a chain of hotels, he's looking to build there. Their paths cross and there's some amusement. I'd watch it again.

The Long Memory 1953 Based on a novel by Howard Clewes, screenplay by Robert Hamer and Frank Harvey, directed by Robert Hamer. John gets framed for murder in this one, he gets 12 years in prison for killing a guy named Boyd, when he gets out he goes looking for the witnesses who lied. Problem is, one of the witnesses is married to a police detective now, the other witness is dead. John sets up housekeeping on an abandoned barge, he makes friends with an old coot who lives on the next abandoned barge, he finds a bit of companionship in a traumatized war refugee named Ilsa. John's presence stirs up the witness, her hubby and Boyd. The crooked guy had used the witnesses to lie and say it was his body in the boat, the police were onto him and being dead is a good get out of jail free card. With the help of the Ilsa and old coot things turn out rather better than expected for John. I found it more entertaining than the first two films and would watch it again.
The History Of Mr Polly 1949 Based on the novel by H G Wells, written and directed by Anthony Pélissier. It's Edwardian England and John is a man of 20 when the movie starts, he marries a woman and sets up shop at an outfitter. In the second act some years have passed, John's none to happy, he tries to commit suicide but it goes wrong and he becomes a hero and makes a pile on his insurance. He runs off with the money, leaving the wife he hates so much. The third act we spend with a much happier man as an assistant innkeeper. It's a bit dark but still funny. Id watch it again.
Three re-watchable films, not bad for a tenner.
