    Robin, Great news about ON THE FIDDLE,I never knew this was on the way. Believe it or not this film played as a main feature when it was released. The films co-star Alfred Lynch was a very fine actor who never achieved the fame he so richly deserved. Two other Lynch early Sixties films that I...

    Just released by Renown in the UK: DOUBLE CONFESSION This was cited by the British Film Institute as a "lost" film. Then recently it turned up as a bootleg. The Renown edition is far superior to anything that we have had before and is well recommended. A must for "Brit Noir" freaks. Also from...

    To add insult to injury I gather that Paramount/Republic also own the rights to the William Broidy productions originally released by Allied Artists. Some great stuff here: PORT OF HELL (1955) FINGER MAN (1955) THE BIG TIP OFF (1955) LAS VEGAS SHAKEDOWN (1956) FINGER MAN has a great turn by...

    TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT DEBUTS Manufacture-On-Demand DVD SERIES

    Joe,I totally agree with your comments regarding SON OF ROBIN HOOD and cannot help thinking how great the film would have looked in scope. Sadly this is the only way we are going to see this film on DVD. THE WIZARD OF BAGHDAD again is pan & scan but the p.q. is far superior. Also the cover art...

    Hello Again Nick Beal, As a fellow Brit (a Muswell Hillbilly by birth now living on the Isle Of Wight!) I too get lots of the Sidonis Westerns but the "forced" subs drive me up the wall!

    I thought THE GLORY BRIGADE was a Fox film. PARATROOPER was released in the UK a couple of years back under its original title THE RED BERET. The war film I really want is TANK FORCE (a.k.a.NO TIME TO DIE) a great war film in sciope and color.
