I got my DVD of TaWM today! I managed to hold out until nearly 8pm before playing it. That's pretty good. Very nicely put together with a mixture of cartoons &...
The "swimming coach" was John Konrads (not Conrad - I must wash my ears out). The gold medal winner for the 1500 metre freestyle at the 1960 olympics...
This was posted at the silent movies newsgroup by Dennis Doros of Milestone Films, re the upcoming Region 1 DVD of Edge of the World: "Well, the commentary...
If anyone happens to be anywhere near Brisbane in August do try to call in to the Brisbane International Film Festival on the 2nd & 7th of August. That's when...
Apologies for being OT, but I'm sure somebody recently mentioned that they'd like to see 'Went the day Well ?' on DVD. It's part of a box set due for release...
... That's all right Mark, I'd say with David Farrar playing a nasty Nazi and Leslie Banks as the lord of the manor (no spoilers) it's close enough to the...
Steve, while it was a matter of life or death for those who signed the Declaration that July day, I'm not sure if the Empire saw it as a black day. I'm not ...

If you can, find a copy of "Images et Sons", No 78, Avril-Juin 2003, it's got an article in it (en français naturellement) by Natacha Thiery about Michael...
Great news that we're getting 'Dead of Night' on DVD. It's had a US release, but only as a twofer. Shame they couldn't have hooked it up with 'Halfway House'....
From this Left coast resident of the former colonies (though California was Spanish at the time) thank you for the kind regards...all is well that ends ...
... I see they're showing "Liberty! - the American Revolution", the 1997 mini series, on the UK History channel here starting on Sunday at 8am. I wonder how...
Here's another of my irregular searches through the listings for the next couple of weeks to see which P&P related people can be seen on TV. A series of Carry...
But of course it's always best to check that they haven't made a last minute change. I was looking forward to seeing Reap the Wild Wind (1942) with Ray Massey...
... Could well be :) I love Alastair Sim's performance in London Belongs to Me. The sinister appearance when he first goes to the lodging house was copied so...

Listening to BBC World Service arts programme "The Ticket", they're interviewing Peter Greenaway. Passing over his claim that cinema died the day they invented...
Interesting. I personally think that special effects get in the way of good film making. Think of IKWIG- the whirlpool. That's a memorable sequence, but...
... A bit rich if you ask me. The Pillow Book was pretty much roundly regarded as putting plot second to his beloved 'visuals'. Sometimes it's easier to...
Does anyone live near Boston? The one in Lincolnshire, not the one in Massachusetts. I've just been speaking to a gentleman by the name of Paul Mould who lives...
... Presumably he excludes his own oeuvre from this supposed "death" of cinema? ... I start getting suspicious as soon as the "most people" generalisations...
Dunks, I certainly agree that we can often view the past through rose tinted spectacles. Many old films are tosh, and there's a reasonable amount of good new ...
My relpies to Dunks... not entirely OT folks! I think we film buffs can often have a very selective memory about "classic" film, and we tend to only think...
Sort of. I'm going to be moving from Shropshire to a small village between Stamford and Peterborough. I'd already earmarked a vist to Boston. A friend at work...
