Deadfall
Region 1, Fox studios, 17/10/2006, * Theatrical Trailer
* Michael Caine Collection Trailers, Widescreen 2.35:1.
Fox have informed us that their October (region 1) release
of Deadfall will not only include interviews with John Barry
& Bryan Forbes, but also an isolated score track!!
This is obviously terrific news for Barry fans (whether
or not you bought the CD) and makes this DVD an essential
purchase. John Cork (of James Bond DVD fame) interviewed
John Barry at his home. Very nice featurette. Street date
is said to be October 17th and you can already pre-order
it from the usual sites, such as amazon.com and competitors.
Rejoice, rejoice!!

Svengali
The Platinum Disc Corp people who ruined that first
Alice's Adventures release appear to have given the same treatment
to Svengali. It is cheap but extreme caution is advised. Early
reports indicate that the quality of the picture is not perfect,
and the music quality is slightly below par.
We cannot guarantee that this is a legitimate dvd. Region

versions of A Killing Affair exist for Region 1 although some
are supposed to be Region 0. Not a single review of video
or sound quality is available, but the publishing studios
are known for low-cost low quality products. See the artwork
of these dvds:

Beat Girl
For completists only, Beat Girl is available on DVD! You
can order it from amazon.com, as did Peter Walker:
However, a warning. The quality is not brilliant. Well,
to be honest, it's appalling. Looks like it was made from
a video recorded from a TV screening or similar. How do
these companies get away with stuff like that?
No, buy the video instead which is probably still available.
You can make your own DVD from that, with the right equipment!
