Default Mostly war films....
I'm looking for the following mostly WW2 related - checked on Amazon and they don't seem to be on DVD or VHS - I'd be very happy to trade:

Before Winter Comes 1969
Friend or Foe (CFF) 1981
Killing Hitler 2003
The Lamp Still Burns 1943
The Password Is Courage ,The 1962
Reach for Glory 1963
Sammy Going South 1963
Seagulls Over Sorrento 1954
Secret Journey 1940
The Yellow Balloon 1953
The Steel Bayonet 1957
They Were Not Divided 1950

I dissed Password is Courage in a previous post, but I'd like to have another chance to watch it and revise my opinion!

Also, does anyone know where Humphrey Jennings documentaries like This is England, Dim Little Island and A Diary for Timothy etc can be seen? I've heard that they are available somewhere on the Net - for watching but not downloading.

Thanks,
Richard

I have a VHS of Sammy Going South -- I think it's 16X9 rather than the correct widescreen, but it's otheriwse good quality. Can burn to DVD.

Thanks very much. I'll PM you. I actually have a DVD copy of Sammy, sent recently by a friend. But it turned out to be in Spanish with Portuguese subs!



Any Senor or Senoritas in the forum are most welcome to it.


PS. Just watched the 1960 British public information film about the Suez Crisis (the catalyst for Sammy's journey) - an interesting attempt to justify our position. Compares Cairo 1956 with Berlin 1939.
