3 Brit classics from Sony 21st September

[dpgmel]

I think quite a few forum members wil be pleased to hear that Sony will be releasing the following three, long overdue, films in their British classics range on 21st September :



THE CAMP ON BLOOD ISLAND

YESTERDAY'S ENEMY

THE DAMNED



Get prepared to ditch those fuzzy copies chaps and chapettes

[Carl V]

Thank you Dpgmel for that.



I look forward to their release, particularly 'The Camp On Blood Island'. I don't think I've ever seen that one and I understand it stars Andre Morell.



Good on Sony, let's hope there are more of these gems to come.

A pleasure Carl .



Yes COBI does star Andre Morrell and I can thoroughly recommend it, the same goes for the other two as well

Great news and thank you , dpgmel. I have been waiting to find a decent copy of Yesterday's Enemy for years.

[didi-5]

Excellent news - can't wait to see these in decent prints.

[Lord Brett]

Fandabidosy! Now that is good news!

[Shelley Court]

Good news indeed and let's hope these are all in correct 2.35:1 ratio. But (and excuse me if I'm being a wuss here) I can't find any reference to this anywhere. Where did you get this information?

Interestingly, folowing these links it seems that Yesterday's Enemy is going to be mail order only.

They're all going to be mail order only apparently, probably through Sony's 'exclusive' deal with Moviemail (though titles have been turning up at SimplyHE as well IIRC).

Yes indeed - definitely one of the most welcome announcements in a long time.

As John says above, it's likely to be through MovieMail.

Cracking news, but most esp. THE DAMNED; I love the Elisabeth Frink stuff...

Just to confirm what's been written above, yes they're all due for 21st September and it's another Sony mail-order exclusive with MovieMail (who I work for). Here are the direct links:

Enjoy!

A question for Dan Hunter. Will these great Hammer releases be 'scope & 16:9 anamorphic. I'm sure they will be, in fact I almost feel guilty for asking, as Sonys Hammer releases have been faultless. Looking forward to seeing (& owning!) these films, I thought the chance had gone when DD went under.

Have found out that they are indeed original aspect ratio:

Camp on blood island - 2.35:1 Anamorphic (original 'MegaScope' aspect ratio)

The Damned - 2.35:1 Anamorphic (original 'Hammerscope' aspect ratio)

Yesterday's Enemy - 2.35:1 Anamorphic (original 'Megascope' aspect ratio)
