great movie great seller was very professional cover and disk movie played very well
will buy more movies from this seller
The Dreams Lost Dreams Found on DVD was beautifully re-created, even the case was made with the originally-styled artwork. The playback was acceptable, considering that it probably had to be re-created from video tape. We are very happy with this! Thank you!
You told me it would work in the United States. The DVD does NOT work in Oregon, USA.
Very happy with my purchase. Will buy from you again. Thank you.
Brilliant. We have been trying to get this movie for ever. I will be getting more. Thank you
Exactly what I ordered. Love the case
The content was supposed to be 4:3 and it was stretched out.
Great story with a fantastic line up of the old school actors to focus on the facts

The image is perfect. Crisp and clear, like the store bought version. Only wish there was a DVD menu. There is play and that's it.
Everything was great ,of course the quality was like back then. I dont like the words across the screen. But overall ok,
Great price for a quality DVD.
A few dvds were skipping when playing. Orca was a bad copy and skipped and was paused for about 3 minutes and skipped a lot of the beginning of the movie. 3 or so of the other DVDs were skipping also. Not happy with the quality of these DVDs. Maybe watch to seeif they are a good copy before sending.
Never got the link to download? Paid for nothing
Happy with service and movie
Absolutely fantastic movie and came really quick and fantastic quality
Good ,would have liked more chuck norris kick arse
But with him being captain he had to tine it down.
Hmm, I don't know what you did to the first disk.
But I had to peel something off the disk and now my Blu-ray player's drawer won't open. I can't watch the second disk until I can get the first disk out. Was this some kind of joke? I'm not laughing...
I always liked the movie "Caroline?" & was pleased to finally find it on dvd!
happy with movie fast delivery as usual good picture
The movies I received three of them had scratches and they skipped scenes of the movies. Not too satisfied with this product. Try to do better with your products.
Great movie happy with purchase glad to do business with you
A finely produced DVD and of course a very exciting story!
This went fine. There had been mix-up. I had received a third DVD of the movie and hadn't paid for it. David said to just pay again as if ordering, and he would know not to send yet a fourth one.
Yangtse Incident aka Battle Hell The British frigate Amethyst is on a lawful run up the Yangtze River to provide supplies to the British embassy at Nanking. Communist Chinese forces are
victorious in the region and are marching on the city. As the ship travels upriver, Communist artillery batteries unexpectedly open fire. The frigate desperately fights back, but runs ashore after sustaining casualties and damage. The
situation settles into a diplomatic affair with the local Communist commander demanding all sorts of unreasonable concessions in order to allow the stricken vessel to leave.
For me, this dramatization of the real life incident involving HMS Amethyst on the Yangtze River counts as among the best in the genre. Action sequences
are realistic, especially for the time period. Especially remarkable is that the actual ship was used for part of the filming. The performances range from good to excellent. Highly recommended.
As good as I had recalled
I recently got a copy of this film on VHS. I was expecting to be disappointed as I haven’t seen this film in about 35-40 years! I often get a film I once enjoyed find it doesn’t live up my memories. But, I was pleasantly surprised with this film.
There are, of course, some period stereotypes, especially racial (Akim Tamiroff again plays the evil oriental….), but they are minor annoyances as the story unfolds.
I had read that H.M.S. Amethyst had actually been used for the film and was so badly damaged during the filming due to underwater explosions that she was soon scrapped. I can now see why this might have happened. There are quite a few detonations in the water very close to the hull.
While watching the film I felt it could just as well have been a good story from Hornblower, Aubrey etc. Take away the modern vessel and replace it with a wooden ship and you have a timeless (true) tale.
Richard Todd (who served as a paratrooper on D-Day) plays with the authority he often gave to many similar roles (like the Dam Busters).
It was fun to see that Bernard Cribbins and Ian Bannen were unlisted in the role list. They were novices, and were actually both quite good in this film.
I highly recommend seeing this film!
