Highly Dangerous is on Film4 for the 354th time on Thursday March 27th. It's worth seeing if you like the idea of Lockwood as the World's Greatest Living Expert on Fruitflies though like so many British films from the period it has a tedious American B-lister as co-star.

I assume the Smith estate (I wonder who they are - she didn't have any close relatives) objected to the DO being adapted quite a bit from the play which isn't really about the Margaret Lockwood character at all. But one has to wonder at people who would turn down the free money just because someone who has been dead for 20 years didn't like the adaptation. It's not as if 101 Dalmatians has much to do with the book!

TITG is just bizarre - the Old Vic doesn't know where to place his accent. By the same writer a The Quiet Man, it's almost an attempt at a scottish version. TLC isn't bad, and shouldn't be given the novels reputation. ML wasn't given many favours with her Wilcox films except being given the chance to appear opposite Welles (who is always interesting and charismatic). The feeble American male leads tend to let the films down IMHO. I know the films were made to release American money in this country but often the stars who came over were rarely of Welles calibre - Forrest Tucker et al.

ML must have liked the the play because she was in a highly successful stage version in the 60s opposite Richard Todd.

TITG isn't available on commercial DVD. It was recently shown on British TV (yes, Channel 4) for the first time in years, however. PM me if you still need a copy, Billy.

Captain, I agree. But read this, from Wikipedia:
Quote:
Smith died in 1990 and named Julian Barnes as her literary executor, a job she felt would not be much work. Barnes writes of the complicated task in his essay "Literary Executions", revealing among other things how he secured the return of the film rights to I Capture the Castle, which had been held by Disney since 1949. (Barnes, 2003). Smith's personal papers are housed in Boston University's Howard Gottlieb Archival Research Center, and include manuscripts, photographs, artwork, and correspondence (including letters from Christopher Isherwood and John Gielgud).

I hope another company releases another 5 of her films. 5 lesser known or rare ones would be nice.

Sounds great, but do you know if it still exists in the archives?

MovieLover, that's the one. Modular, they all exist, including the feature-length special which preceded the actual series. Do a search here: Home Page - ITNSource (try 'Margaret Lockwood Justice')

I think Optimum should do a Margaret set including the Herbert Wilcox films she made. If you want this like I do, please email info@optimumreleasing.com
