Christopher Lee, Charles Gray

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000

Christopher Lee cast against type
The Devil Rides Out is probably the best known book that Dennis Wheatley ever wrote. The Hammer film adaptation is pretty faithful to the book. The film version sees Christopher Lee (cast against type) as the heroic Duc de Richelieu fighting a coven of Satanists, led ...

Marple Classic Mysteries (Caribbean Mystery/4:50 from Paddington/Moving Finger/Nemesis/At Bertram's ...

Joan Hickson, Paul Eddington

A&E Home Video, 2006

As compared with newer series...
These are longer than the series with Geraldine McEwan, with more detail. They are closer in accuracy to the books but they still changed some things, for example, adding the character of Superintendent Slack. The lower voices, particularly Joan Hickson's, make these ...

The Devil Rides Out/Rasputin the Mad Monk

Christopher Lee, Charles Gray

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2004

Damaged?
All three reviews by the individual below--from Italy--complain about "damaged" DVDs, way too dang many of them. I encourage customers to ignore these writings as it seems she may be ordering DVDs for the wrong DVD region; in one case she writes that it plays "black" ...

Yes, Prime Minister - The Complete Collection

Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne

BBC, 2003

Gets better with each viewing
I have always been a big fan of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. The incredible thing is that when I had originally watched the series, I used to root for Hacker but later found myself taking some amount of sadistic glee over the manner in which Sir Humphrey gets ...

Yes Minister - The Complete Collection

Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne

BBC Video, 2003

Smart, Intelligent and Wildly Funny
One of the greatest sitcoms of all time with profoundly funny, intelligent, satiric scripts and great acting by the three principal characters. I love Paul Eddington, one of the funniest actors I have ever seen. Frank Scoblete: author Golden Touch Dice Control ...

Agatha Christie's Miss Marple Collection 2 (VHS Boxed Set)

Joan Hickson, Paul Eddington

A&E Home Video, 1997

Solving a Mystery that has No Clues!!
+++++ (Note: this review is exclusively for the Miss Marple mystery "Nemesis" on VHS) I watched this movie without reading the 1971 Dame Agatha Christie novel that it was based on. (Christie wrote twelve full-length Miss Marple murder mysteries.) I'm glad I did ...

Adventures of Robin Hood - Complete First Season

Richard Greene, Donald Pleasence

Mill Creek Entertainment, 2008

50's Swashbuckler Holds Up Brilliantly
I bought Robin Hook out of pure nostalgia, having watched it as a child. What I did not expect was that it would be smart, well-written and well-acted television that compares favourably to anything being done today. Both thumbs up!

The Camomile Lawn

Felicity Kendal, Paul Eddington

Acorn Media, 2006

A stellar cast makes for an engaging period drama
My grand aunt recommended Mary Wesley's books to me recently and I was quickly engaged by her well-written stories. When I learned that The Camomile Lawn had also been adapted for TV, I knew I had to watch it and I wasn't disappointed. The period drama makes for an ...

Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister 2-Pak

Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne

BBC Warner, 2003

Compulsory viewing !!!
As we are living now ( 2008 ) in a very sorry s(h)ituation worldwide - moneywise and politically - these series should be viewed at highschool level in all classes. Not only for the way they show us how real politics are conducted worldwide but also for improving ...
