Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries - Have His Carcase (The Lord Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane Collection)

Harriet Walter, Edward Petherbridge

BBC Warner, 2002

One of THE BEST TV Series Ever Made!!

P.D. James - Original Sin

Roy Marsden, Ian Bannen

Lance Entertainment, 2003

Revisiting Original Sin
Normally, I should not think it necessary to revisit "Original Sin." However, given the less than adequate sound engineering and the soft tones and trailing voice of Roy Marsden, it takes two or three hearing before one can clearly identify all of the dialogue. ...

Memoirs of a Survivor

Julie Christie, Christopher Guard

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Slow, Haunting Dream Film
Though I was more impressed with this movie when it had it's theatrical debut in the early 1980s, I still recommend this mysterious mood piece. The DVD transfer is great and some care went into the menu and chapter selections. The story concerns a quiet middle aged ...

Dentist in the Chair

Vincent Ball, Eric Barker

Televista, 2007

Mild British Comedy
I remember seeing "Dentist in the Chair" in 1960 when I was a kid. I have always been a big fan of British comedy films, but "Dentist" is hardly a classic. At the same time it has a cast of likeable actors, and it is still a pleasant way of spending 80 minutes. With ...

Framed

Timothy Dalton, Timothy West

Bfs Entertainment, 2000

Fascinating and truly suspenseful
I didn't see the original, so I wasn't disappointed by not seeing the full-length version. (But this version is so good that I can see how it must be disappointing to those who got to see a couple more hours of it.) This is an excellent production, with fine acting ...
