Netflix


2/07/09 You can now get this film (DVD) on Netflix. Is there more Ealing DVDs out there?

reply

I have a 16 Ealing Comedies compilation which you can get from Moviemail or Amazon. You can pay £120 but I got mine for £65. The DVDs are Zone 2.
It pays to shop around.

Thank you.

There is a DVD of "Hue and Cry" from Wham! video, purveyors of 40's-to-60's British cinema, for the American Market. You can buy it from several major vendors, --including Amazon.

I purchased the new DVD (which is pressed-- not a DVD-R, as some feared), and was pleasantly surprised by the print. -- It's not perfect, by a long stretch, but it's far better that the two VHS copies I have been viewing for the past 20 years.

The first VHS I purchased, was from Sinister Cinema, in the early 1990s. I picked up a second (foreign-made NTSC) cassette, a few years later, because I was wearing out my SC copy.

If you're wondering why I would watch this film so often-- it's partly because I spent a lot of time in London, beginning in my teens, more than 40 years ago, and I recognize much of the city (as it was).....plus, this is a fabulous film!

PS: I rated "Hue and Cry" 10/10 here on IMDb.

I've got a Region 1 Ealing set that I bought a few years ago: Passport to Pimlico, Titfield Thunderbolt, etc.
