Directed by: Ronald Neame
In Ronald Neame’s film of Joyce Cary’s classic novel, Alec Guinness transforms himself into one of cinema’s most indelible comic figures: the lovably scruffy painter Gulley Jimson. As the ill-behaved Jimson searches for a perfect canvas, he determines to let nothing come between himself and the realization of his exalted vision. A perceptive examination of the struggle of artistic creation, The Horse’s Mouth is also Neame’s comic masterpiece.

Release Notes on Restoration
The Horse's Mouth
The Horse's Mouth is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1 and enhanced for widescreen televisions. This high-definition digital transfer was created on a Spirit Datacine from the 35mm internegative with the participation of director Ronald Neame. The soundtrack was mastered in 24-bit from the optical soundtrack: audio restoration were used to remove clicks, pops, his, and crackle.
