New Dvd Titles

You do realise this is the same bootleg I mentioned earlier, produced by 'Televista' who are rumoured to be the Jef Films people. Don't expect quality. Don't expect 77 minutes.

The Moviemail website is now listing the Kenneth More collection as 5 discs with Stop Press Girl and The Galloping Major both dropped.

Pity they couldn't have kept these in. They're both rare and have never been shown on TV as far as I know. Great though the films left in the set are they're all a bit too frequent for me to bother with this set now

James, that's going to be a shame if this latest Televista version of RUNAWAY isn't remastered or including the deleted phone-box scene that we saw in the released theatrical print. Now maybe we can get MISS ROBIN HOOD released in Region-1 in a good print.

A legit region 1 release is unlikely so I would go for the legit region 2 release.

The Beggar's Opera in April from Optimum, previously released by Warner Home Entertainment.

With director Peter Brook and writer Denis Cannan alive and perhaps available to record a commentary or interview, we could hope for an upgrade from the 2004 release but we are talking Optimum.
