arrived in good condition. fast delivery. as ordered. happy with purchase
Just watched this dvd which we enjoyed. Good quality dvd.
I received this DVD with no sound. I contacted Rare and Collectibles about this issue. I sent and resent an email numerous times and I have been totally ignored. I do not recommend this company. Rating is very poor!
I found the DVD in perfect condition
This is a very good copy of the original version of The Day The Earth Stood Still which was well ahead of its time. The message is even more valid today than then. I urge everyone to watch this movie and hopefully it will change the world.
Everything was great with purchasing & receiving dvd thank you
The DVD was in perfect condition. I was very happy with my purchase and found it playedvery well
Online delivery was excellent, however the movie quality was very low,360p or less.
Great DVD as expected !
Ich bin sehr froh, diesen Filmgefunden zu haben.In Deutschland bekam ich ihn nirgendwo.
Dvd is in excellent condition unfortunately I only received one and I paid for 2 . The package said 2 but only one DVD was included
I am thrilled to have gotten this movie very efficient fast service from this company. This movie is probably one of the closest to my hearts and my three sisters.Thank you so very much!
Received the DVD in good condition, and the quality of the movie was good! Will purchase more rare title movies in the future.
Difficult to find, worked great and priced right.
Great movie, have tried for a while to get a copy at a reasonable price
While war raged in England, expatriates in Kenya pursued a decadent lifestyle based on sex and booze. The ultimate outcome for the most aggressive player in this game was unexpected and completely shocking to the colonial swingers.
I had recorded the movie on to VHS when it was on tv many years ago then later to DVD from my VHS when the technology became available. The VHS recording was not that good so I appreciate the opportunity to purchase an excellent copy on DVD.
I am giving one star because I never received the DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great seller. Stumbled upon them by accident. Will steer away from ebay and more towards Rare and Collectible. Top shelf seller.
As far as the series goes. simply astounding. In the top three "westerns" I have ever seen. It will take you a bit to believe who you are seeing is Jeff Daniels. I can't recommend the series enough.
Don’t Take This One For Granted
THE African QUEEN is probably one of the most widely available films in the world, on sale in the electronics department of virtually every major retail chain, a commonplace at every rental counter, frequently seen on television. It is hard to imagine any one in the western world, especially in the United States, who has not seen the film at least once–and probably more than once. And so we take it for granted.
That is a mistake. Based on the famous C.S. Forester novel, which it follows quite closely, THE African QUEEN is the simple story of pragmatic river-rat Charlie Allnut (Bogart) and high-minded Methodist missionary spinster Rose Sayer (Hepburn) who are thrown together by chance when German troops sweep through Africa during World War I. Once safely aboard his beat-up riverboat “The African Queen,” Allnut desires nothing more than to dodge the Germans until war’s end; Rose, however, determines to strike a blow against the Germans by sailing the boat downriver to attack a German battleship.
There are so many fine things about this movie that they are hard to innumerate. Filmed on location in the Congo, the cinematography is remarkably fine without being obtrusive; the script, which is at once subtle and very purposeful, has a remarkably natural tone; the two stars–who play the vast majority of the film alone together–give justly famous performances; and Huston’s direction is so fine that we never feel even the slightest hint of directorial manipulation. As an adventure, it has a sense of realism that most adventure stories lack; as a character study it is remarkably detailed and finely wrought; as a love story, it is quite touching without engaging in common sentimentality. And it can be enjoyed by many people of diverse backgrounds and ages without the faintest qualm.
If you haven’t seen THE African QUEEN in a while (or heaven forbid never seen it at all) don’t take it for granted thinking you’ll catch it sooner or later. Sit down with the film and watch it with fresh eyes. You’ll be amazed.
