Routledge

Sidney Poitier, Christian Roberts

RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, 1967

Timeless Classic!
TSWL has been a favourite of mine for many years. They picked a really great cast to make this film. Although made and set in 1960s London there are certain things that are still relevant to todays world; problem kids no teacher wants in his/her class, racial ...

Bliss of Mrs Blossom

Shirley MacLaine, Richard Attenborough

Paramount, 1992

Don't make 'em like that anymore!
If ever a film deserves the description of "cult film", The Bliss of Mrs Blossom is it. Largely ignored on its release in the late sixties (I can remember seeing it in a virtually deserted cinema in Baltimore) it is so much a product and reflection of its time that it ...

Keeping Up Appearances - Born to Rule

Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 2001

Classic early episodes of a hilarious Britcom treasure!
What a treat! Not only are these collector's episodes because they feature the original "Rose," but they are also some of the funniest episodes of the show ever broadcast. "A Fate Worse Than Senility" has poor Hyacinth trying to save Dipsy Daddy from marriage. "Our ...

Keeping Up Appearances - How to Enhance Your Husband's Retirement

Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 1996

Hyacinth Bucket in Her Best Performance Yet!
How to Enhance Your Husband's Retirement, from Keeping Up Appearances is yet another hilarious adventure of Hyacinth and Richard Bucket! The two begin their retirement by "yachting", at the insistence of Hyacinth. Of course, little did they know, their "outing" turns ...

If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium

Suzanne Pleshette, Ian McShane

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Classic Gem, But Now Available on DVD!
This movie is a classic! It is very funny and nostalgic, but stands-up on its own merits also. This is the time when they made very funny and clean comedies that the whole family can enjoy! Unless you don't have a DVD player, and if you don't I suggest you get one ...

Keeping Up Appearances: Memoirs of Hyacinth Bucket

Judy Cornwell, Geoffrey Hughes

BBC Video, 1997

The BUCKET woman at her very best...
This video shows excerpts of those occasions when our beloved star Hyacinth is at her most annoying moments in various shows.... I find the humour amusing, witty and amazing. She has this knack of sending chills down my spine with her ways....I LOVE HER! It's ...

Curse of King Tut's Tomb

Eva Marie Saint, Robin Ellis

Sony Pictures, 1996

Charming and evocative of Egypt & Britain in the 20's.
In the same vein of quality as famous Agatha Christie films of the 80's (Death on the Nile and Death in Mesopotamia), this film helps you lose yourself in the glamorous atmosphere of North Africa in the 20's. The excellent cast of first-rate British (Wendy Hiller) ...

Keeping Up Appearances - Sea Fever

Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 2000

If you only ever own one....
If you only ever own just one Keeping up appearances tape, make it this one! This tape contains the number one (in my humble opinion) episode of all time....The QE11 Special episode. This one holds a special place in my heart as I used to work on board this ship. I ...

Keeping Up Appearances - The Name Is Bouquet

Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 2001

A Proper Introduction to Hyacinth!
I ordered this video from amazon.com after watching the show on PBS for years. It truly ranks up there with Are You Being Served? and To the Manor Born. The video includes the first three episodes of the high- class show. Daddy's Fondness for Dairy Products introduces ...

Gay - The Beggar's Opera / Gardiner, Hoskins, Daltrey, English Baroque Soloists

Don Estelle, Tim Brown

Kultur Video, 1997

RETRAIN ME BACK!
This is an excellent show. I first saw it on PBS. Roger does a great job, not what you would expect. The fun back story is that Roger had to be classically trained to do this part and when he was done, he found he couldn't perform 'Who' music. He went back to the ...

Gilbert & Sullivan - The Pirates of Penzance / Kline, Ronstadt, Smith, Routledge, Delacorte Theater (Broadway ...

Kevin Kline, George Rose

Kultur Video, 2002

Good, but the film version released in America is better
I do enjoy Patricia Rutledge, from ages of watching her perform in BBC Keeping Up Appearances as a social climbing civil servants wife. Her skill as a singing actress is every bit as delightful as her portrayal of Hyacinth in that series. As a staged version this is ...

To Sir, with Love

Sidney Poitier, Christian Roberts

Timeless Classic!
TSWL has been a favourite of mine for many years. They picked a really great cast to make this film. Although made and set in 1960s London there are certain things that are still relevant to todays world; problem kids no teacher wants in his/her class, racial ...

East Is East

Om Puri, Linda Bassett

Walt Disney Video, 2001

Compelling Storytelling
With a rare combination of edge, grit, song and dance, heart, obscenity, and hilarity, the director takes this stage play and turns it into an unrelenting examination of the explosive tensions involved in a Pakistani family's assimilation into British society. The ...

Keeping Up Appearances: My Family

Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 1998

Funny Show!
This is a great show about someone name of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet by herself) who is obsessed with climbing the social standings within her community, but she always messes up. I love this show because I know someone like this and I can't help but laugh ...

Keeping Up Appearances: Rural Retreat

Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 1996

Anxious for the next episode with Pat Routledge!
There isn't another comedy like this one. I have my VCR automaticly set to tape every episode and when I'm home, I also watch it while it's being taped! Please believe me, the more I see of this terribly humerous series, the more dissappointment I feel in knowing they ...
