Erich Kästner's beloved novel has been adapted for film or television six times since its publication in 1929; this 1935 British version was the first in English. Believed lost for decades, it was recently rediscovered by the BFI and has now been restored. The film moves the action from Berlin to London, where Emil goes to stay with his grandmother and cousin. Thereafter, the tale of Emil's adventures with a gang of streetwise London children faithfully follows the original plot.

The British remake of Emil und die Detektive (1931). It pales a little compared to the original, but it's still a good one. It's very close to it's German relative, almost shot-by-shot at times. 2 years since I saw the German one, but I still recognize the shots which tells you how loyal to the '31 version this is. It's main fault however is that it doesn't have Fritz Rasp as the bad guy. But otherwise a fun kids movie!
