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
Tom Brown’s Schooldays John Howard Davies – probably most famous for his portrayal of orphan “Oliver Twist” in David Lean’s classic – is a little too weedy, for me, as the title character in this adaptation of Thomas Hughes’ story about a young boy sent to the prestigious Rugby School in the 1830’s where he encounters bullies; brutality and ultimately kindness. Robert Newton turns in a great performance as “Dr. Arnold” who believes that the somewhat cruel educational practices are of the past, and so he and “Tom Brown” try to improve things. This film is not so faithful to the book; but uses the two lead performances, as well as a convincing effort from John Forrest as his nemesis “Flashman”, to convey much of it’s sentiment. I probably preferred the 1940 version, but there’s not much in it.
Robert Newton takes on Sir Cedric Hardwicke
To my surprise, this version is every bit as gripping and fascinating as the 1940 RKO version. Some leading critics in fact actually prefer this movie. You can count the New York Times for one. True, Gordon Parry’s direction rarely rises above a very competent level, but Noel Langley’s screenplay is, to say the least, brilliant. He has expanded the story slightly to make the Flashman incidents more believable to those unaccustomed to the ways of the British Public School system in the 1850s — and indeed right up to the 1950’s! What’s more, the movie is attractively acted, particularly by young John Howard Davies as Tom Brown and charismatic Robert Newton, perfectly cast as Doctor Thomas Arnold. (In fact, Newton told me that he regarded this as by far his best performance. I agree!). What’s more, the movie has not only been extremely well produced on a really top budget, but features a fine music score by Richard Addinsell.
