    Another title listed at Amazon.co.uk for November release

    Charles Crichton's 1950 Ealing drama "Dance Hall" with Diana Dors, Petula Clark, Donald Houston & Natasha Parry.

    Let's hope Studio Canal deliver on time. This year most of their classic releases seem to have been put back from their originally announced release dates!

    I agree with Windyridge, it is a superb lobby card. Would you mind if I posted it on the Re-Introducing Diana Dors Facebook Page Johnallan????

    Finally arrived two months later than originally scheduled, film sound track still has a lot of crackle despite "digital restoration". Looks like another slightly botched job from Studio Canal.

    The print looks good though, doesn't it? The TV showings were in decent nick.

    I'd agree with the statement that it's "rather dull", but Studio Canal seem to just decide on catalogue titles being "prestige" nowadays, like last year's cinematic re-release of Woman in a Dressing Gown. I suppose ITV would be too ashamed to do the same for the Gainsborough melodramas Where is The Root of All Evil on DVD? And are the Anna Neagle films not trendy enough for Studio Canal to bother re-issuing?

    A bit off thread but I'm an avid autograph collector and I like to display them not just keep them in an album. For instance for over three years I'v been trying to put together a collection of "Two Way Stretch" with stills of the players and their autographs under each. Autographs are easy to find but film stills are something else. Even getting copies from the web or off of DVD's is murder.
