1.Scrooge [1951] starring: Alastair Sim, Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison, Mervyn Johns, Hermione Baddeley directed by: Brian Desmond Hurst November 10, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.99
With a central performance by Alistair Sim that is nothing short of brilliant this movie deserved to be restored to its original condition for DVD but wasn't. I have not seen any prior reviews that commented on the crappy quality of this print but crappy it is, sadly. Cut to fit the TV screen, it is a poor quality print. No subtitles. No closing credits. A lack of sharpness and definition to the picture and sound. The "extras" are not worth bothering with. Disappointing is what it is. Kathleen Harrison is superb as is the supporting cast of British film luminaries. They and Alistair deserved better. Cheap and looks it. Bah! Humbug!!

A old war movie, with classical themes: cruel war, love, duty and friendship. Very "simple" for today standards, with a strange mix of good aereal scenes and "special effects" of years '50. The DVD is an occasion for a "time bath" in our first tv/cinema experiences

This is part of the WW2 history of Malta, the besieged island which was awarded a symbolic George Cross by George VI of Great Britain. Filmed not so many years after WW2, it does have a lot of archive battle footage and also shows the ruins left by the fighting, when the island almost starved and ran out of electricity, water and almost everything else. Even those who, like me, think the UK was on the wrong side in WW2, can find this story moving in its tragic privation. It follows some British officers, one of whom, Alec Guinness, falls in love with a pretty Maltese girl. Her brother is hanged as an Italian spy but she carries on as an employee in the British strategic map section, plotting movements of planes and ships (so that bit is a bit implausible!); ...
