Hi Mandy, and welcome!

I too have had no success locating a copy of "The Guru", and believe
me, I've looked everywhere.

You can get some of Rita's movies from stores in the UK that ship
internationally, though you would have to have a system that plays
PAL-format videos (as opposed to the US-Canadian NTSC standard). In
particular, "A Taste of Honey (DVD)" and "The Trap" are both
available in PAL format from UK stores.

Some US and Canadian merchants sell hard-to-find videos. I have
found "The Bed-Sitting Room", "The Housekeeper", "Slaughter
Day", "Green Eyes", and "A Taste of Honey".

BTW, how did you come to be a Rita fan? A few years ago, I saw "The
Trap" on the A&E cable channel. I could not get the movie out of my
mind for at least a week! I was very impressed that Rita could play
a mute woman, yet make the part come alive through her wonderfully-
expressive eyes. I've been a big fan ever since!

Cheers!
