WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Has anyone noticed a fascinating short interview between Welles and Peter O'toole discussing Hamlet currently on you tube?
BBC monitor October 1963. just type in Orson Welles and Peter O'Toole.

Optimum (Studio Canal) has announced the 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray issue of The Trial for September 3.
As yet no Artwork or content has been forthcoming.

There is a website http://www.thebox.bz where one can find and download many of OW's British TV shows/documentaries and interviews. It costs nothing so long as one gives something back - the rules are self explanetary. The above mentioned is from an early BBC Panel/current affairs type show called P...

What a pity,but this website seems only to be available stateside. I tried to watch the interview,but kept getting the message that it was not available to stream in my area.

I can confirm that it is a Region Free blu-ray.I bought it from Amazon and it plays on my european Blu-ray player.Unlike all the latest Criterion Collection Blu-rays which are region A locked. So if the Welles´criterion issues Arkadin or F for Fake are issued on criterion blu-ray any europeans wil h...

It is the same issue. If you look at the back-bottom left in very small print It says Sinister Video distributed by Cecchi..ect.
However it is significently more expensive than ordering direct from amazon.it

Thanks a lot - picture quality or not, it is great to finally see it.

Just try going to http://www.amazon.it or click on the link above in the other post and then sign in as an existing amazon customer and pay for it your normal way(if credit card). It may be written in Italian but the boxes that one fills and/or ticks are the same. I signed in with my Amazon UK email...

The new issue from SINISTER Films (Italy ) is available through Amazon.It. Price 11 euros 99 cents. This is the best that I have seen. It is Significently Better than the Spanish edition and the recent UK issue is junk when viewed A and B. The video is clean with great shadow and depth and excellent...

Just got a heads-up from Gary Tooze at DVD Beaver that an Italian company called Sinister Films has issued CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT special edition(so called)
with a running time of 113m(PAL) selling for 11 euros 70 cents.
I have ordered this sight unseen and will post a report as soon as it arrives.

This new issue from Cornerstone Media International / Palladium Entertainment is not reccomended - DO NOT BUY IT: It is not even as good as the spanish issue. It seems to be from the spanish issue however. They have degraded the picture quality with too much noise reduction - giving it the look of a...

Cornerstone Media has just announced that the Journey into Fear release has been cancelled.No further reasons were given and no future release date was stated. As yet, the release of "Chimes" by the same company is still going ahead.

Anyone thinking of buying the new Bluray of the Stranger should first look up the review of this new issue by DVD Beaver (dvdbeaver.com).It is not very flattering. Using the comparison screen captures it is obvious that anyone with the MGM DVD release of this movie need look no further. With no subs...

The Three Cases of Murder release is 1.33 - 1 . The DVD case states 1955 but the the release date on the movie´s credits is 1953 .It looks like the print source is from the US,because after the title card "London Films",there is a second title card "Janus Film".When one considers...

Cornerstone Media is releasing Journey into Fear in the UK on the 28th of February. It is already listed on Amazon UK with the running time of 68m (PAL). This is the same release date as Chimes at Midnight (from the same company). I´m not sure of the quality but will post a report when they arrive. ...
