This is a classic and perculuiar Aussie story, it is a shame that all the leading stars were imports rather than some local talents. And, to add insult to injury changing the name of the movie to suit the USA audience is a fundamentally disgusting
File was perfect. Seamless, easy purchase, reasonable price, quick delivery. What a great service.
The downloads for the 70's Boney TV series are as described, not great quality but perfectly adequate given they are so old. So thanks for that. It is good to know there is an archive of old series.
I had to go back and ask for some to be redelivered, as some were duplicates and some were missing. But eventually I got the set.
Excellent Movie.
Michael Greyeyes is a great actor.

Loved the dvd and many thanks for making it available
Movie was known, price fair, transfer to Germany pretty fast, in Germany it took some days...
I was happy with price and speed of shipping but I ordered 2 discs both the same movie. But only received one. I sent a msge a couple days ago but haven’t heard back. Order #6475. Fist of the northstar. 2 copy’s but only received one. I’m sorry for the hassle but can I get my other one please. I like your catalog and prices will be back later after this is fixed. Thank you and have a great day. Be safe always.
Absolutely perfect. Got to the U.S. quicker than I expected, in perfect condition, and exactly what I hoped for.
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.
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!
