While some of the acting in "Black Narcissus" was dated, indeed, it otherwise was and is a gorgeous film. This one, on the other hand, starts off fairly well, but soon becomes boring and silly. The trial at the end is an anticlimax. Argues about whether "british" or "american" is best and finally proving true love with self-sacrifice in a way resembling a play at school for ten year olds. Or like an opera with no singing, just reading out loud from the libretto. It's so bad it's almost good. But no. >>More Details

It isn't the best made film in the world; it is melodramatic and not particularly accurate historically, the characters are rather stereotypical and Hollywoodish, but I first saw it when I was 15 and it moved me so much that five years later, in 1967, in the middle of the Six Day War, I packed a small bag and went to live in Israel. Indeed "Exodus" is pro-Israel; why shouldn't it be? >>More Details

This film completely knocked me when I was 13. I had given up ballet when I was 10, but after seeing this film, struck me like a thunderbolt and I resumed dancing and enjoying classical ballet ever since. The melodrama didn't matter, it was mind boggling and I minded terribly about the end. But above all the shear theatricality of the story and rich colour designs by Heckroth set me on the road to a life time love of ballet and dancing. This is a classic film of it's time and lasts well, in spite of Moira Shearer's inexperience of acting, but bewitching dancing. Marius Goring is terrific. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Edward And Mrs Simpson starring: Edward Fox, Cynthia Harris, Peggy Ashcroft, Maurice Denham, Marius Goring directed by: Waris Hussein July 04, 2005		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £12.01 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Edward and Mrs Simpson was first shown on ITV decades ago. The DVD version could have been more seamlessly edited, instead of separating the parts divided on TV by advertisements, but that is a minor criticism of a very well-made and most enjoyable series that earned Edward Fox (who plays Edward VIII) a BAFTA award. The story is a tragedy, treating its characters sympathetically. The emotion and tension builds up to a moving climax just before the very end, and then falls away in a way that confirms the tragic nature of the story. Highly recommended. >>More Details

I agree with the reviews below; a very good transfer to DVD of a classic film. Much of it was made on location in Crete and it is fascinating to see glimpses of how life used to be not that long ago (before the holday invasion). The cinematography by Christopher Challis captures the landscape quite spectacularly. However, there's one thing here. The DVD box shows a colour (or colourised) image. The film is (of course) in black and white. That's no problem for most of us, but I know some younger viewers in particular would be disappointed to find that it was shot in monochrome. The DVD company are being a bit mischievous here surely. What's wrong with a black and white image on the box? Otherwise, a classic, a tribute to the Cretans in particular, ...

Average Rating:	World War 1 : The Great War - Complete BBC Series (7 Disc Box Set) starring: Ralph Richardson; Cyril Luckham; Sebastian Shaw; Marius Goring; Michael Redgrave; Emlyn Williams March 25, 2002		Used Price:
Made in 1964 by the BBC, my first impressions were this is old and dated - how wrong could I be. This is arguably the best documentary/series ever made on the Great War, and if a better or more informative in-depth series has been made covering this subject, then I have yet to see it. Starting a few years before the war, it covers the political situation in Europe leading up to the start of hostilities in the episode one, before moving onto the overwhelming German onslaught in August 1914 showing much footage I have never seen before. Over the next 25 episodes it covers every single aspect of the war, from the front line in all the theatre of conflict to the home fronts in Russia, France, Germany, Britain and later America. Much has been ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Barefoot Contessa [1954] starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ava Gardner, Edmond O'Brien, Marius Goring, Valentina Cortese directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz April 15, 2002		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£6.98 You Save: £9.01 (56%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This is another beautiful piece of cinematography. Ava and Bogart compliment each other beautifully. Alot about the character seemed to echo Ava's life - her love of bullfighting and bullfighters and sheer zest she had for living and life!! This is another DVD that I cherish - take a look at Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, another superb Ava film. >>More Details

Average Rating:	3 Powell And Pressburger Films - A Matter Of Life And Death / Life And Death Of Col. Blimp/I Know Where I'm Going [1946] starring: David Niven, Roland Culver, Valentine Dyall, Albert Lieven, Wendy Hiller directed by: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger October 20, 2003		List Price: Â£17.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£14.98 You Save: £3.01 (17%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVIEW IF FOR 'A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH' ONLY: This film has a fabulous opening sequence, and a lovely opening scene featuring David Niven as 'Peter Carter' and Kim Hunter as 'June'. This is a fascinating movie with an interesting topic, and as so many have said before; this is a film way ahead of its time. The fact that this was filmed using both black and white and colour adds to the 'Special Effects'. 'Peter Carter' gets a second chance at life and love when he has to jump from a crashing Aeroplane during the War. Marius Goring stars in one of his most 'colourful' roles as the 'Conductor 71' character. Also stars Raymond Massey. An entertaining movie. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pandora and The Flying Dutchman [1951] (Region 1) (NTSC) starring: James Mason, Ava Gardner, Nigel Patrick, Sheila Sim, Harold Warrender directed by: Albert Lewin May 23, 2000		Used Price: Â£16.93
What a wonderful film, I saw this many years ago on the television and have had great difficulty in obtaining a copy to play on my DVD but have just received a copy of which I shall keep very safe!! I would correct the reviewer below it was not Salvador Dali but Man Ray who painted the picture of Pandora and designed the chess set. Man Ray was an American who founded the Dada movement and was the prime American participant in the Surrealist movement. Pandora is a truly memorable film which I shall cherish!! >>More Details
