The Rebel (Vintage Classics) Comedy legend Tony Hancock makes his feature film-starring debut in this witty satire that takes both white-collar monotony and the pretensions of the art-world in its crosshairs.A self-taught artist with an enthusiasm that far exceeds any ability, Anthony Hancock throws in his hollow office job and moves to Paris to live his dream. Although he quickly finds acceptance among the bohemians and beatniks, legitimate critics scoff at his work. However, he begins to taste critical success when the art of his talented former roommate becomes confused with his own.EXTRAS:NEW An Irrepressible Streak: Paul Merton on The RebelNEW A Definitive Comedian: Diane Morgan on Tony HancockCommentary with comedian Paul Merton and screenwriters Ray Galton and Alan SimpsonBehind the Scenes Stills GalleryTheatrical trailer
