Been looking for this dvd for years and years
Absolutely love it!!
Love thismovie and it was so sad 😞 😔 😟
Quality of the dvd wasn't the best, it was grainy., like it had been recorded from a vhs tape. I couldn't see some of the scenes because they were to dark, especially any thing that was at night.
Dvd hasnt arrived yet.
To start with Im a total junkie for this series..One of a kind...This last series was probably a bit lesser in quality than the earlier ones and it was filmed in the UK instead of US BUT having said that its still great popcorn stuff...Watch out for the 'monkeys paw' episode
Easy purchase, good quality product.
Columbias 'Ben Hur' western of the 1940's ..And alongside Golden Boy put William Holden on the map...For those who havent seen it think of the De Mille westerns like Union Pacific
The First DVD was good part 2(second DVD) 15-20 min towards the end disc skips sound is terrible
SECRETS & LIES is a warm hearted story about a rather dysfunctional family who have held on to so many secrets that do eventually come spilling out. It is a strong lesson in the importance of communication and openness and the simple benefits of sharing. Each actor has been especially cast in roles that bring out their strengths. It is a drama with some humorous moments. Most enjoyable.
The DVD arrived as stated and in good condition. I would order again from this seller.
I ordered the download of this movie and was pleased with the quality of the video and the prompt fulfillment of my order. Well done and thank you!
In the descriptions it states that the DVD will play in all regions. It does not. My package clearly shows region 3 making it unplayable in the USA. I ordered this because of the statement. DON'T PURCHASE !
excellent value well packaged dvds thanks David
great
Not been able to use purchase, as the download was only available for such a short time, it had expired when I tried to download it. When I went to download it, the message said to only download to a desktop computer. As I was away and didn’t have access to one, I stopped and forgot, so have never been able to view my purchase. Complete waste of money.
Back in the late 60' I read a book called open season, which was a great revenge read, following the release of the movie, which I viewed in the 80's, although not as good as the book it still portrayed an entertaining view. I had later tried to obtain a copy of the movie but to no avail. I recently was able to obtain a copy of this movie through your Rare and Collectable DVD's which amazed me, obviously you have many of these rare and hard to find DVD's in your inventory, well done, as now I know where to find such gems,
I had seen this wonderful if challenging film years ago and was very disappointed I couldn’t get a version to play in the uk but then your firm changed all that. I have been able to watch it now in the uk on your dvd and am really delighted. Thank you! . It came a long way safely, and was in new mint condition…excellent all round.

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.
