A whole heap of goodies coming from Odeon

[MarcMorris]

Take a look here - just listed.



Odeon, March -> October 2009

[batman]

The ones that really interest me are A Taste of Excitement (which I hope will also be available individually), The Roman Polanski Boxset and some interesting titles directed by Vernon Sewell and Lance Comfort.



PS - Gaiety George was Max's screen debut (uncredited)

Excellent news, been waiting to see Saturday Night Out again for ages, Bernard Lee and The Searchers great combination

[EHV_Emmetts]

I see they have Blood on Satan's Claw (1971). I've been trying to find this film for a long while.

Really? It's been out in an excellent uncut DVD edition for a couple of years, I think from Anchor Bay.



I noticed Odeon are releasing The Ups and Downs of a Handyman, which, to borrow the theme of another thread, is the worst British film I've ever seen.



Still, if you want to see Bob Todd spanking a half naked women in the shower, it's the one for you...

Now, if it was Richard Todd... perhaps.

Thanks for that as I was unaware of this.

Dear old Bob Todd he did get involved with some duff films.



Bob Todd (II)

I've been waiting 30 years to see A TASTE OF EXCITEMENT again so I'll spring for that box set...just wish I didn't have to wait 'til July.

Damn! The still won't come up on the works PC. I'll just have to imagine the level of depravity it shows!

[Brief Encounter]

The Seventh Veil at last! They must be licensing from Granada now...

[gumby1987]

The Ups and Downs of A Handyman is, in my own opinion, twice as funny as the Confessions or Adventures films. I'm not saying it's a classic, but it has a few redeeming features!

Many thanks Marc,



Some time ago there was a series on the Beeb called "The Forgotten Decade" dealing with the era 1945-1955. One of the programmes was called "Spivs" which discussed all aspects of their activities, including films; one of which was "They made me a Fugitive". As a student of this era I look forward to obtaining it.





Best wishes

IIRC, this captured the 1960s extremely well.

Sorry but have to disagree, I thought the film was very epsodic and some of the actors get into situations that can only be described as "yeah right!", pity as I was really looking forward to watching it and found it boring before the end



sorry!
