[JamesM]

Starting from Tomorrow and over the next few months Pegasus Entertainment are releasing the following films:-





Rock You Sinners (1957)

Part-Time Wife (1961)

Night Train To Inverness (1960)

Fate Takes a Hand (1962)

The Battleaxe (1962) (we must let Francis know)

The Silent Invasion (1962)

Tarnished Heroes (1961)

Highway to Battle (1962)

Sweet Beat (1959)

She Always Gets Their Man (1962) listed not as 'Their' but as 'Her'

Two Wives at One Wedding (1961)



Four of these are scripted by Brian Clemens. I suspect more will follow.



Rock You Sinners is released by Network (not Pegasus) - error spotted by 'Julian'

[julian_craster]

Rock You Sinners (1957) and Sweet Beat (1959) are Small Films (E J Fancey) rather than Danzigers Prods.....

[julian_craster]

Night Train To Inverness (1960) - an early role for Dennis Waterman



Hope the prints are good and not BRAVO rip-offs.......two films on one DVD would be a good idea !

Oh excellent much thanks for the update Julian, looking forward to Two Wives.

[Stevie Gee]

Some of these look interesting -never seen Night trin to Inverness, or fate Takes a hand for excmple.....do Pegasus publish their prices anywhere?

[darrenburnfan]

In Night Train For Inverness (1960), the then 12 years old Dennis Waterman plays a 7 year old, which looks odd. Excellent film otherwise.

Best of Classic British TV Crime with Saber of London; Man from Interpol, Scotland Yard and Tales of Edgar Wallace looks interesting but I wonder if the days are numbered for the ebay seller who charges extortionate amounts for these and other related items

Holy crap - Edgar Wallace on DVD at last! I'm starting a new thread for this one.

[dicky2006]

I have only bought one of these so far (Silent Invasion). Have any of you bought more and what do you think of the picture/sound quality please?

[MrT]

Quality is acceptable, but don't expect full digital restorations. Night train to Inverness is probably the poorest of those that I've seen, in some ways not much better than the old NTSC copy thats been knocking around for years - Mediocre print and not terribly sharp (probably from 16mm). Still worth buying though, in view of the rarity and if only to encourage Pegasus to keep releasing new titles.



MrT

[Harbottle]

A couple of very brief pauses in Tarnished Heroes (only a split second), and it seemed to me that there was a very slight jarring during scenes with movement almost as though it was a NTSC recording. The print is excellent otherwise though.

I cant find any prices for these films ??

Compare Amazon UK, hmv and play.com for best deals......or check Kelkoo price comparison site.......

Is it a possibility that it's the same guy from Ebay, who had listed many of these Danziger films, but now under the name of Pegasus Entertainment. It just seems strange that the seller is no longer selling these titles on Ebay.

Pegasus are a reputable distributor .....

..... however some of their films (eg The Holcroft Covenant) are of poor quality.



That other chap was Media Classics and he claimed some tenuous link to the rights holder of Danziger Films.



He's still out there with his own website so I doubt they're anything to do with him.

My God that DVD of Holcroft! How can the UK release be so appalling when as usual the US version is perfect?

[batman]

It's this one ....







This one is OK .... especially as it is directed by Mr Moxey.
