Finally on UK TV again 2nd Jan.


Hey Guys..

'Performance' on bbc 2 11:35 pm Monday 2nd January 2006. About time too. Lets hope it's the remastered print they released back in 04'
That'll do nicely until the DVD comes along : )

I've been looking forward to this since I noticed it in the TV guide last week - Anita Pallenberg? Mick Jagger? Yeah baby!

It's been cut! The scene with the identical twins trying to sell Turner a Magritte painting is missing. Plus, this version still retains some of the hideous dubbing that was done so badly for the American market. Some of Harry Flowers's lines have been dubbed ("at ease gentlemen. Anyone for a nightcap?" and the last line of the movie: "'Allo Chas.") and all of little Lorraine's lines have been dubbed by an adult woman. Infuriating! Do the programmers know anything about the movies they schedule?

I'll second all that; but I'll also confess that I'd forgotten how deeply annoying Mick Jagger is.

That's the best acting Jagger's ever done (and I'm not really a Stones fan at all)!

I was wondering why the little girl sounded like she was dubbed by someone in their fifties!

reply

I noticed that when I saw it all the way through some years ago-VERY ODD!,
But then this is an odd film in a very enjoyable way!

I'm surprised BBC2 showed the dubbed version as the one that was on BBC2s Moviedrome (about 15 years ago) had the original soundtrack. Gutted I scrubbed this version.

I recorded it again last night because I want to replace my Maverick Dirctors original that has ruined dialogue...Maybe the original soundtrack version no longer exists.

I need a bohemian atmosphere

You're in for a shock mate!
If you've seen the Original Get Carter which is aired over and over well I feel that this is far grittier and in-yer-face!

reply

Don't get what all the fuss is about. Maybe I need to see it again. For now, 6/10.

Damn it, I completely forgot about this (even when I read the TimeOut listings an hour before the movie started)! Can anyone host this for a download?
