Based on the best-selling novel by Lissa Evans, the delightful and heartwarming period piece, “Their Finest,” arrives on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital HD) and DVD July 11th from Lionsgate; Digital HD June 30th and On Demand July 11th from EuropaCorp. From the producers of “Brooklyn” and “Carol,” “Their Finest” takes place in Britain during World War II and tells the story of a film crew as they create a movie to boost the country’s morale after the Blitz. Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin and Golden Globe® winner Bill Nighy (2007, Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, “Gideon’s Daughter”) lead an all-star cast in what Andrew Barker at Variety considers “a relentlessly charming romantic comedy.” Directed by Lone Scherfig (“An Education,” “One Day”).
