It could be that in desperation to get the punter to part with cash the archives have been raided for some obscure titles

TLI will be the USA version truncated to an hour long rather than the British TV one. They Came To Baghdad is a curiosity I must admit, but it could be a TV version which hasn't been picked up by IMDB.


Thats the joke that killed the Music Hall !

They Came to Bagdad (sic) turns out to be an episode of the Studio One tv series. It aired on 12 May 1952 with Beatrice Arthur in the cast.

Start every day with a smile and get it over with.

At that price I don't think there will be too many takers. It will end up on ebay heavily discounted.

There is only one item from that list that I'm looking for, "Ten Little Indians" (the Shirley Eaton one), and lo and behold, it just passed through the bbfc yesterday. It was submitted by Orbit Media, which doesn't seem to be the same lot who are doing the partworks.

Default The Manhood Of Edward Robinson

I found my copy of The Manhood of Edward Robinson. It was taped on VHS tape in SLP, so I wont' vouch for the quality, and you'll have to wade through a few other things on the tape, but .... I've got it.
