Our first release for this month, is PICCADILLY THIRD STOP another long awaited film starring Terence Morgan, Yoko Tani, William Hartnell, John Crawford, Mai Zetterling - Directed by Wolf Rilla

"Rilla's feature, which came out the same
year as his better known ‘Village of the
Damned’, is most notable for its thrilling
underground sequences.." -Time Out
Wolf Rilla directed this 1960 UK production, it is very well
cast with Terence Morgan at his most oiliest as a playboy
petty thief looking for the big time, John Crawford as a yank
in London comes across well as the bad tempered crook
and William Hartnell as the crusty safecracker.
The music by Phillip Green is great 60s jazz which adds to
this excellent production, picture and sound are of a
high standard following extensive restoration -









Our Second Release for This month as an excellent example of British Directing Talent THE CASE OF CHARLES PEACE directed by Norman Lee

"....good central performance holds the attention..." Quinlans The Case of Charles Peace, a 1949 John Argyle Production made at Merton Park Studios, released by Monarch. Lead Michael Martin Harvey, a relative unknown and as a mixture of Robin Hood and the devil, is oddly hypnotic in the role. This film is based on a true story, nicely directed by Norman Lee and it is a minor gem not because it won awards, had a great cast or a huge budget, but because it’s a small British production that entertains.



Our EXCLUSIVE offer for our club members this month is Buy Piccadilly Third Stop & The Case Of Charles Peace for just £19.99 for the two films with FREE POSTAGE (within the UK only)
That’s TWO FILMS for under £10 each and FREE POSTAGE! (Uk only)( If you require just one film the price is £11.99 each still a saving of £1.00 and still with free postage)

And finally our new newsletter section “Looking For…” Mr Wells Of East Sussex is looking for You Cant Escape, it’s a 1956 with Guy Rolfe, Peter Reynolds and was Produced by Forth - their only production. Released by British Pathe in cinemas, this has never been released on Home Video in The UK. He’s also looking for Wrong Number, again a Peter Reynolds 1959 made at Merton Park by Anglo Amalgamated, but again sadly never released. He must be a Peter Reynolds fan as Mr Wells is also looking for The Man Who Couldn’t Walk again a Peter Reynolds made at Walton Studios by the Luckwells who released it theatrically but sadly never on Home Video.
Mr Roberts of West Sussex is looking for Forbidden Cargo 1954 with Nigel Patrick and Jack Warner. Produced by London Independent Productions it was released in 1997 by VCI – we will see if we can get hold of a DVD for you.
Next month we bring you : SHE KNOWS Y’KNOW, Double Bill: Impact / Serena and another Double Bill: Gentle Trap / Hangman Waits..Happy viewing! Best wishes
