It really is very good indeed and let's hope it sells enough copies to justify the release of some more Dame Anne films, Peg of Old Drury anyone ?

Surely the priority is a proper restoration of Lilacs in the Spring so that the first reel is in colour

I think the Captain is being ironic here, as the early scenes were filmed in black and white.....
However, it would be great to have a proper restoration of A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH with the entire film in colour......

Isn't that Martin Scorsese's next project?
