★★★☆☆The latest collection from the British Film Institute maintains their ongoing commitment to preserve Britain's film heritage for generations to come. Accompanied by a fascinating and detailed collector's booklet, Runaways includes three films from the Children's Film Foundation featuring young boys who, in various ways, run away from home, only to find themselves in trouble with their elders in the form of their parents and the law. Johnny on the Run (1953), filmed on location in Scotland, Hide and Seek (1972) and Terry on the Fence (1985), both shot in London, are ideal examples of a moralistic form of entertainment popular with children in the past, though seldom seen in today's 'enlightened' age.
