The Red Beret (1953)

[darrenburnfan]

I'm still waiting for mine. I ordered it ten days ago and on the item page it says that it's in stock and that it will be despatched within 72 hours. But it's said that for over a week now. I hope it arrives before the Royal Mail go on a national strike, or it will take ages to turn up.

I ordered mine in June. Still aint got it yet my card was debited last week. Hopefully it will be here soon

[darrenburnfan]

They always send me an email when they have posted a DVD to me. I'm hoping to get such an email this week. If not, I shall phone them and ask them if they're sending it or not.

Theres another war film just been released thats a bit of a rarity too. Tarnished Heroes. UK version of the Dirty Dozen. Looks really good.



Keep me popsted if your RD arrives. Ill do same

[darrenburnfan]

Will do, Paul. I didn't know The Tarnished Heroes was due out on DVD. I haven't seen that since I went to see it at the cinema in 1961. It was a damn good second feature, as I recall.

The same company has brought out a couple of others too

[darrenburnfan]

Thanks, Paul. I see it can take them up to three weeks to send it, so I'll wait to see if the ballot for a national strike at Royal Mail, the result of which should be known by the end of this week or early next week is in favour of a strike or not. If it is, I'll postpone sending for this until the strike is over...although it would be different if, like most amazon orders, it was sent out the next day after receiving the order.

[paul clifton]

Just watched it last night. Pretty good. Check out the special effects at the start when the barrage hits the compound they are in lol. hmmmmmmmm

[paul clifton]

Blimey. AreMovie Mail always this bloomin slow???



Status is in stock since Friday. I still aint recieved it or had e mail saying its been sent. Not a good first impression from my first order. Especially since its been on pre order for months

[darrenburnfan]

Well, Footsteps in the Fog and Sword of Sherwood Forest (both also listed as being "in stock") were both sent to me within a day of my ordering them and I've received them now. Maybe The Red Beret isn't yet in stock after all.

[paul clifton]

Hmmmmm. You think they might have the manners to tell us though. Ive just e mailed them. ill let you know

[darrenburnfan]

Your order for 'The Red Beret' is currently in despatch so this should

be with you shortly.

[darrenburnfan]

I wonder what they mean by "in despatch." I hope it means they've already sent it out, mine as well.

[paul clifton]

I guess we will soon find out eh

[darrenburnfan]

Well, they haven't sent me the usual email as yet saying that my order has been posted to me, so I'll see if one arrives tomorrow (Friday).

[paul clifton]
