Great film. - Sadly the DVD offered no subtitles, which makes it very difficult to understand all those scenes in the Russian sub under command of Captain Briannow (played by Rutger Hauer) in which the submarine sailors are fightiing to extinguish the fire that broke out and the nuclear reactor which threatens to undergo a melt-down, because in all these scenes they are wearing oxygen masks and are talking through those masks covering their faces and of course also their mouths, so the sounds are mufffled and their sentences are difficult to make out. Some English subtitles would have been nice. Nonetheless it's a great film about a true story about events which almost led to World War Three! - And the exteremination of the Eastern seaboard of the US. It happened in October 1986 shortly before the peace talks between Reagan and Gorbatchov in Reykjavik on Oct 11th. 1986. Had the fire on the Russian sub not been extinguished and had the reactor melt-down not been stoppend, then ca. 200 kilotons of nuclear bombs - one thousand times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb Aug. 1945 - would have exploded. That would have been the end of our world as we know it. - By the way, the film shows a lot of similarities to the famous film The Hunt for Red October, which had been made about 7 or 8 years earlier. Have fun watching. Dr.Moehrmann, New York City, USA, and Hamburg, Northern Germany.
The last bullet has hardcoded Dutch subtitles
TV movie of the Enola Gay and crew. I watched it back 1980. The DVD version was good for a DVD of that vintage.
Le visuel ne correspond pas mais il s'agit du bon produit. Je suis heureuse de petit trésor pour compléter ma collection de DVD de Cate Blanchett.
love the dvd overall, the picture lighting. resolution and definition is the only thing that's off
Great dvds
Acceptable quality for the time. Enjoyed the show. It would be good if there was a contents on the cover of each series as the episodes are not in order on the discs.
Exactly what I wanted- region 4 DVD most were region 2
Great to finally be able to find a copy of this movie. Excellent service that I would recommend to anyone.
Would prefer a thicker case, like you see with all DVD’s.
Very good movie plus it was fast delivery great pricing
Too long on shipping
The dvd's arrived in decent time. I was so excited to get them but when I went to play them they didn't work on my dvd player. I am looking into buying another dvd player in the hopes that they'll work. I was really disappointed.
I love this movie my mum got his movie on VHS so I wanted to get it on DVD
The DVD arrived in good time and met expectation
You have a wide range of interesting DVDs that I have been looking for and failed to find anywhere else
The movie was just as I remembered it. The only issue was with the first cd which would go blank every once in awhile though each time it was only for a couple of seconds so it didn't bother me that much. The second cd had no issues.
The transfer copy job is excellent based on the source copy now not really available. No real compression artefacts which is helped by the film being in B&W and a running length under 90 minutes
So any compression just to have the movie fit on the disc is extremely minor.
As to the film, it's a solid little western. Joel McCrea is one of those actors who look as if they give nothing to their performance but in fact give much (not unlike Gary Cooper and Clint Eastwood early in their careers). He certainly adds gravitas and the support players don't lack for anything in their performance.
Not a John Ford or Raoul Walsh by any degree but good solid matinee entertainment to while away those late afternoons.
Good seller to deal with, I enjoy the movie Many thanks
Hi delivery was great and well wrapped so dvd was safe..
I’ve just finished watching the film and thank you for good quality dvd
“My dear, would you mind sitting somewhere else? Body odor offends me.”
The Anniversary, Quite simply, Bette Davis dominates every scene and every aspect of The Anniversary. If you don’t like Bette Davis, you’d be wise to skip this one altogether. Davis plays Mrs. Taggart, the overbearing mother to three sons. She controls every aspect of their lives. They cannot make a move without her approval. And if she doesn’t approve, she’s not above ruining one of her sons if it suits her selfish purposes. The Anniversary covers the events surrounding the annual celebration of Mrs. Taggart’s wedding anniversary to the late Mr. Taggart. It’s Mrs. Taggart’s day and she lets everyone know it. She uses this event to cement her control over her sons by threatening financial ruin, jail, and/or public humiliation and by degrading them and their significant others.
Bette Davis is in fine form in The Anniversary. She’s evil, vindictive, manipulative, and a ton of fun. She chews scenery like nobody’s business. The rest of the cast is good, but they are no match for Ms. Davis. Some of the comments she makes to her youngest son’s new fiancé are unbelievable. One of the best is when she quite casually tells the girl, “My dear, would you mind sitting somewhere else? Body odor offends me.” Another priceless example is Mrs. Taggart’s reaction to the frightened fiancé when she discovers Mrs. Taggart’s glass eye in her bed. I don’t know of many actresses who could pull-off being so rude and just plain evil and still have the viewer rooting for them.
Hammer Studios made this incredibly black comedy during the 60s when a lot of aging female stars were taking roles in horror movies. The Anniversary may not be a horror film, but it’s certainly not the norm you would expect for someone like Bette Davis. I don’t know how The Anniversary did financially upon release, but it’s the kind of movie I would have liked to have seen Hammer making more of in the late 60, early 70s. Who knows? It might have saved the company.
