One 60's Britmovie I would very much like to see is 'That kind of Girl'

It certainly not available through 'normal' channels, I don't even recall it ever being on TV!

The "Gregson's" ARE difficult to come-by, BUT, I know where "this," IS, or, Was, so,
Will Tel. the Person, & see if they still have. More on this, anon. Or, soon.

"There was a Crooked Man" (1960) has had a few mentions in these pages! That's the Norman Wisdom version, of course (there is another film of the same name).

Hasn't come my way yet...

I've been after the two part mini-series The French Revolution ever since it was made in 1989.

There's a French VHS for sale for £140.

Oh well...

Last Man to Hang aka The Amazing Daphne Strood
Operation Murder

These are still proving elusive for me. Both are Tom Conway UK films.
