Comedy legend Tony Hancock makes his feature film-starring debut in The Rebel, a 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.

The Rebel is released on DVD and Blu-ray 3rd March 2025 from StudioCanal as part of their Vintage Classics collection.
