BFI have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of The Fan on 26th January 2009. After many years abroad, Mrs Erlynne returns to a London much changed by the ravages of war. Whilst at an auction she recognizes an attractive fan which once belonged to her but before she can claim it she must find another party to vouch for her.
