Overall great experience. Website easy to navigate. Large collection of movies. Delivery was quick.
Such an enjoyable film. Love the story, the glamour, the costumes plus some very funny & sweet moments. Back when women were so feminine in their dress & manner.
I have always remembered this movie from decades ago. Such a sad way for Steven's life to have ended. Still a great true story.
I found this film very good well worth the money AM happy with the service thanks
I have not received theDVD,I tried contacting about this and get no reply

Great product and really good quality. Thank you will order from you again
A very pleasant old movie, brings back good memories watching this as a kid.
Great performances from all & quite moving at times.
This was a Chinese DVD. The case was broken and the DVDs were mislabelled, however the picture quality was very good and the show Godless was absolutely amazing. Overall worth it.
this is the greatet thing i ever did see.
Great film thanks AM happy with the service it arrived in good condition 👍
Hilarious, criminally underrated title I was glad I could find a source for.
Loved the earlier days of the carry on crew.
Disc unreadable.

You get what you par for!
DVD is utter crap,it's not genuine and it is a burnt copy with poor quality. I got burnt purchasing this. Buyer beware this shop is questionable
Three stars for the movie only. In spite of having leading actors, I was quite
disappointed with the overall movie. Good western movies are quite a
rarity nowadays.
As for the service, Mr. Brady has always delivered and is a pleasure to talk to.
Thanks
appreciate the service this company provided, it help me find a movie that i could'nt find anywhere
Great Quality and very fast Service
An Oldie but a goody. Love Robert Duval in any movie. Thought I had seen every movie he was in. This movie is excellent.
Picture quality good.
Audio quality quite bad.
Only English speaking version that seems to be available, so better then nothing.
Better updates about our purchase after it have shipped! We need to know around what date or the date we should have our movie delivered to our address.
Great finding DVDs that are very hard to find!
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!
