The Red Shoes One of the peaks of British cinema . I cannot wait to see this upgraded as this (the Carlton sp ed) is very loud. Ahem. A rather driven sort sets his gaze on an innocent. All for art's sake you understand ... Films about ballet were never really on my radar. Sure, the Italian film is the zenith, but a manual it ain't . Ahem. The Archers changed all this. From my initial love for capricious Marius Goring in A Matter Of Life And Death, to the outright weirdness of A Canterbury Tale, they produced a body of work that is unrivalled to this day. So this was no exception. I think the neighbours may have been annoyed but I was just swept along with it. Ahem. An improvement over the old vhs, which was a bit tinny tbh.

I also dug his Murder Party which is slightly lighter in tone Slightly. School For Scoundrels (Robert Hamer) I say! Ian Carmichael is a hopeless sort whom sets his eyes on a charming young thing after one of those happy accidents that cinema loves to concoct. Unfortunately the unprincipled Terry-Thomas also fancies his chances. Cue Alistair Sim and his "college" Rather a timid flick now seen from a modern prospective, but I've watched far thinner material stretched out longer tbh (that fricking Mummy ) But I would watch Sim paint walls etc.

I've got "The Red Shoes" but never got round to watching it. Some point this Christmas i may try to sort that. Have you seen "Black Narcissus"? I really like that.

Another for never seeing The Red Shoes but I’ve really wanted to! I’ll get around to it, I know I’ll like it. I’ve just finished watching The Boys In The Band, Friedkin’s delirious adaptation of the ‘gay play’. A group of gay friends gather for Harold’s birthday party when an unexpected and uninvited guest turns up and causes turmoil, violence and anxiety! Equally funny, heartwarming and devastating. Looks fantastic on the recent Second Sight Blu-ray.
