    Marlene Dietrich DVD Collection only in Netherlands??

    @ Irina & Danny Yes, the eBay store does accept PayPal. I do not use the PP-option myself for orders within my home country, since it requires costly insurance (which over the years has proven to be quite unnecessary). I use the bank transfer with BIC/IBAN numbers, a relatively new bank service...

    Is Hollywood in the midst of a "Golden Age"?

    Quote Wow you're younger than me Oliver! It's just when you started going on about todays films not being up to the standard of Hawks and Von Sternberg, CG and "soundtracks filled with irritating noises", I thought I was hearing my father, who loved old westerns and had little time for todays...

    Is Hollywood in the midst of a "Golden Age"?

    Glad to see some dissenters on that Gollywood Golden Age here.:) Like Eric P said; not every movie has to be in the 'Lost in translation'-genre. I love 70s stuff like "Freebie and the Bean' or even 80s classics such as the first 'Back to the future'. Not much lost in translation there...

    Is Hollywood in the midst of a "Golden Age"?

    Hollywood in another golden age? A joke, surely? Apart from a few 'incidents' (excellent films that struggle to get shown, filmmakers who try to be original) I'd say that 'Aluminum Siding Age' is closer to the truth. For the last 10 or 15 years, I've found most Hollywood-produced films to be...

    @ Danny & Irina: Some of the dvd's that are released in The Netherlands can be obtained a lot cheaper through eBay stores, and quite a few Dutch sellers ship internationally. Bol.com is usually too expensive. Here's a link for 'Desire', from a seller that I have bought from myself. There's no...

    Marlene Dietrich DVD Collection only in Netherlands??

    Thanks for the info, Irina. I'd heard about the Russian dvd and as far as I know it's the only release of 'SE' so far. 'Foreign affair' is one of the best in the collection, but I found the great Frank Borzage comedy 'Desire' to be a real gem as well. One of those underrated Dietrich titles...

    Marlene Dietrich DVD Collection only in Netherlands??

    I've got most of the Dutch releases, they are of brilliant picture quality. Missing in this fine collection is Von Sternberg's 'Shanghai Express', though, and there's zero extras. Does anyone have Russian disc of 'SE' and can recommend it?

    'The Best of Youth' (Italy) 2005

    I've read the same and I was wondering if it was ever released on Italian TV. In a post I read elsewhere it said that it aired in four 90 minute segments on Italian TV. Maybe someone here can actually verify this. My impression is that it went directly to a theatrical release and that the...
