Been looking for this dvd for years and years
Absolutely love it!!
Love thismovie and it was so sad 😞 😔 😟
Quality of the dvd wasn't the best, it was grainy., like it had been recorded from a vhs tape. I couldn't see some of the scenes because they were to dark, especially any thing that was at night.
Dvd hasnt arrived yet.
To start with Im a total junkie for this series..One of a kind...This last series was probably a bit lesser in quality than the earlier ones and it was filmed in the UK instead of US BUT having said that its still great popcorn stuff...Watch out for the 'monkeys paw' episode
Easy purchase, good quality product.
Columbias 'Ben Hur' western of the 1940's ..And alongside Golden Boy put William Holden on the map...For those who havent seen it think of the De Mille westerns like Union Pacific
The First DVD was good part 2(second DVD) 15-20 min towards the end disc skips sound is terrible
SECRETS & LIES is a warm hearted story about a rather dysfunctional family who have held on to so many secrets that do eventually come spilling out. It is a strong lesson in the importance of communication and openness and the simple benefits of sharing. Each actor has been especially cast in roles that bring out their strengths. It is a drama with some humorous moments. Most enjoyable.
The DVD arrived as stated and in good condition. I would order again from this seller.
I ordered the download of this movie and was pleased with the quality of the video and the prompt fulfillment of my order. Well done and thank you!
In the descriptions it states that the DVD will play in all regions. It does not. My package clearly shows region 3 making it unplayable in the USA. I ordered this because of the statement. DON'T PURCHASE !
excellent value well packaged dvds thanks David
great
Not been able to use purchase, as the download was only available for such a short time, it had expired when I tried to download it. When I went to download it, the message said to only download to a desktop computer. As I was away and didn’t have access to one, I stopped and forgot, so have never been able to view my purchase. Complete waste of money.
Back in the late 60' I read a book called open season, which was a great revenge read, following the release of the movie, which I viewed in the 80's, although not as good as the book it still portrayed an entertaining view. I had later tried to obtain a copy of the movie but to no avail. I recently was able to obtain a copy of this movie through your Rare and Collectable DVD's which amazed me, obviously you have many of these rare and hard to find DVD's in your inventory, well done, as now I know where to find such gems,
I had seen this wonderful if challenging film years ago and was very disappointed I couldn’t get a version to play in the uk but then your firm changed all that. I have been able to watch it now in the uk on your dvd and am really delighted. Thank you! . It came a long way safely, and was in new mint condition…excellent all round.
Excellent, items as described fast download

Doris Day and Clark Gable. Together.
This sole teaming between jolly blonde Doris Day and charismatic Clark Gable works so well you wish that there had been more opportunities for them to appear on film together. Still, we have to content ourselves with this tale – where newspaper hack Gable goes to night class to learn journalism from Day, the daughter of a leading entrepreneur in the field of ‘real news’.
About five minutes in you know where this story is leading, but it sure is fun seeing it get there. Of great value in the cast is smarmy Gig Young as the perfect writer and the perfect intellectual (and the perfect foil to get on Gable’s nerves). You’ll also spot Mamie Van Doren, that low-rent version of Marilyn Monroe, as Gable’s showgirl cutie in a few scenes.
‘Teacher’s Pet’ is one of the unsung successes of Doris Day’s run of romantic comedies. Go on, treat yourself to an exceptional example of the genre.
Probably the first of the sixties ‘SEX’ comedies.
Doris Day was a breath of fresh air. Not only was she an extremely beautiful woman, she was a versatile actress and performer, and as for her singing, I can safely say that I would sooner hear Doris Day sing, than any other female vocalist before or since.
But apart from her singing she was just as well known for her talents as a comedienne, in a series of ‘sex’ comedies in which she always played the virginal unsuspecting prey to the rich, handsome sex maniacs, played by the likes of Rock Hudson, Cary Grant and James Garner.
This film however is probably the first in which this formula was tried, and although not the big smash anyone had hoped for, it nonetheless paved the way for her future success throughout the sixties. In fact with musicals coming to an end in popularity, it was this kind of film which prolonged Miss Day’s movie career by a further ten years.
Her love interest in this vehicle is the wonderful if not aged, Clark Gable, and although it was to be one of his final films, he proves that he is still no stranger to a decent script, and is able to perform his comic turn effortlessly.
It is a story of a hardened reporter of the old school, and a beautiful journalism teacher from the night school, and how the two come together despite conflicting ideals.
An advocate of the school of hard knocks, Gable pretends to be an up and coming journalist student so he can attend Professor Day’s classes, in order to cause his own brand of trouble and bring the prim and proper know-it-all professor down a peg or two. However things obviously turn a bit difficult when he realises that he is in love etc etc blah blah blah. Routine stuff.
Already we have the typical sex comedy scenario of how the guy pretends to be somebody else to get his own back. We saw it again with greater comic effect in the following years Pillow Talk and again in 1962’s Lover Come Back and quite surprisingly again in 2003’s Down With Love with Ewan McGregor and Rene Zellwegger. Again it’s routine stuff, but routine stuff that works.
Although the two leads handle their roles well, in my opinion only one actor shines through this entire film and that is Gig Young. From the moment Young is given screen-time, the other actors have no choice but to sit back and cool off in his shade.
Young plays a handsome and dashing psychologist who is an expert on nearly every subject you care to press him on. He is also a potential beau to Doris Day’s professor and therefore a love rival for Gable. The nightclub scenes and the subsequent hangover scenes are a joy to behold and will have you chuckling throughout. His lines are witty and delivered impeccably in Gig Young’s usual boyish manner. This film is a treat for this reason alone.
If you’re a fan of Doris Day/Rock Hudson style sixties sauce, then give this one some time and see where it all began.
