I love this movie my mum got his movie on VHS so I wanted to get it on DVD
The DVD arrived in good time and met expectation
You have a wide range of interesting DVDs that I have been looking for and failed to find anywhere else
The movie was just as I remembered it. The only issue was with the first cd which would go blank every once in awhile though each time it was only for a couple of seconds so it didn't bother me that much. The second cd had no issues.
The transfer copy job is excellent based on the source copy now not really available. No real compression artefacts which is helped by the film being in B&W and a running length under 90 minutes
So any compression just to have the movie fit on the disc is extremely minor.
As to the film, it's a solid little western. Joel McCrea is one of those actors who look as if they give nothing to their performance but in fact give much (not unlike Gary Cooper and Clint Eastwood early in their careers). He certainly adds gravitas and the support players don't lack for anything in their performance.
Not a John Ford or Raoul Walsh by any degree but good solid matinee entertainment to while away those late afternoons.
Good seller to deal with, I enjoy the movie Many thanks
Hi delivery was great and well wrapped so dvd was safe..
I’ve just finished watching the film and thank you for good quality dvd
Hello! The problem was the audio. you were kind enough to try sending it again, but it was very low quality and no subtitles, thus the 1-star review. When I said that the quality was too low to really watch the film, I requested a refund. I got no further response and that's where the communication stopped. That's the disappointing truth.
Thanks, Chehalis Hegner
Wonderful to find such a favorite film and it even played on my DVD player.

“My dear, would you mind sitting somewhere else? Body odor offends me.”
The Anniversary, Quite simply, Bette Davis dominates every scene and every aspect of The Anniversary. If you don’t like Bette Davis, you’d be wise to skip this one altogether. Davis plays Mrs. Taggart, the overbearing mother to three sons. She controls every aspect of their lives. They cannot make a move without her approval. And if she doesn’t approve, she’s not above ruining one of her sons if it suits her selfish purposes. The Anniversary covers the events surrounding the annual celebration of Mrs. Taggart’s wedding anniversary to the late Mr. Taggart. It’s Mrs. Taggart’s day and she lets everyone know it. She uses this event to cement her control over her sons by threatening financial ruin, jail, and/or public humiliation and by degrading them and their significant others.
Bette Davis is in fine form in The Anniversary. She’s evil, vindictive, manipulative, and a ton of fun. She chews scenery like nobody’s business. The rest of the cast is good, but they are no match for Ms. Davis. Some of the comments she makes to her youngest son’s new fiancé are unbelievable. One of the best is when she quite casually tells the girl, “My dear, would you mind sitting somewhere else? Body odor offends me.” Another priceless example is Mrs. Taggart’s reaction to the frightened fiancé when she discovers Mrs. Taggart’s glass eye in her bed. I don’t know of many actresses who could pull-off being so rude and just plain evil and still have the viewer rooting for them.
Hammer Studios made this incredibly black comedy during the 60s when a lot of aging female stars were taking roles in horror movies. The Anniversary may not be a horror film, but it’s certainly not the norm you would expect for someone like Bette Davis. I don’t know how The Anniversary did financially upon release, but it’s the kind of movie I would have liked to have seen Hammer making more of in the late 60, early 70s. Who knows? It might have saved the company.
