Classic and 1 of the best movies of Liz Taylor
Great film but a copy, not an original dvd, so lacks complete clarity of picture and sound. I saw it on tv recently which was clearer.
I am however happy to get this for my collection as completes the trilogy, as the middle film.
Great DVD, really good quality recording and exactly how I remembered the story.
Terrific quality!! So glad I found this site which includes movies I never thought I’d see again.
Great site for that rare movie you can’t find or is ridiculously expensive. Download is in mp4, no gimmicks, picture quality good with VLC media player, and customer service is helpful.
Great movies. Though one of them doesn't play which I'm waiting to here back about. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars.
Downloaded perfectly. Very happy. Would purchase again from this company. Thank you.
A great sentimentalized biography about the man who brought the magical land of OZ to life!! Great casting as well. It was OZ-Tastic & I Loved it
arrived in good condition. fast delivery. as ordered. happy with purchase
Just watched this dvd which we enjoyed. Good quality dvd.
I received this DVD with no sound. I contacted Rare and Collectibles about this issue. I sent and resent an email numerous times and I have been totally ignored. I do not recommend this company. Rating is very poor!
I found the DVD in perfect condition
This is a very good copy of the original version of The Day The Earth Stood Still which was well ahead of its time. The message is even more valid today than then. I urge everyone to watch this movie and hopefully it will change the world.
Everything was great with purchasing & receiving dvd thank you
The DVD was in perfect condition. I was very happy with my purchase and found it playedvery well
Online delivery was excellent, however the movie quality was very low,360p or less.
Great DVD as expected !
Ich bin sehr froh, diesen Filmgefunden zu haben.In Deutschland bekam ich ihn nirgendwo.
Dvd is in excellent condition unfortunately I only received one and I paid for 2 . The package said 2 but only one DVD was included
I am thrilled to have gotten this movie very efficient fast service from this company. This movie is probably one of the closest to my hearts and my three sisters.Thank you so very much!
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!
