Default 3 films about murder
Does anyone know of these films are available on DVD in the UK?

MURDER IN REVERSE (1945)
THE FLANAGAN BOY (1953)
WANTED FOR MURDER (1946)

I see that 'Wanted for Murder' is available on Region 1 but not Region 2 .... another frustrating case of the US having easy access to superb Brit films while us Brits have to hunt around for them.

Many thanks, Bats.

Daddy .... the frisbee has gone in the water .... what a finger puppet drama queen I am!

Just this week I received "The Flanagan Boy" in the mail (under the title of "Bad Blonde") as part of the excellent R1 Hammer Noir set of six films.

So I hate to frustrate you, but the Yanks have that one readily available too.

From what I gather, "Murder in Reverse" seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.

The first scene or two of the Wanted for Murder DVD from Allday Entertainment is a little disappointing as it has become posterized (a reduced number of grey tones, rather than a smooth transition from black to white). After that, the rest of the film is fine.

I think some of the US sites like Nostalgia and MoviesUnlimited sell an erm... version, but loads of forumites have it too. I'm sure I've got it and could run you off a copy.

Murder in Reverse was screened by the Gothic Fim Society last year.

You'll probably be able to find a region-free hack online; either via the remote or small file burnt to cd.
