    I bought this from a DVD stall 2 weeks ago. Its packaged as part of " The



    Alexander Korda Collection" along with 19 other titles. The quality is very good



    although apart from having scene selection there are no other extra features.



    Another bootleg perhaps?

    Did you see it when it was shown at the NFT last year? It's a great film though a bit odd to see Dame Thora playing a character supposedly old enough to be Mr D's grandmother.

    Shame - it was an excellent season. Think they showed all of Mr D's surviving films except for Cash.
