If Five Tall Tales set can sell out......

You're not a fan of Randolph Scott then?

No.
'Fraid not mate.

Those daft Confession films would fly off the shelf!

I see Indicator have put back their August releases until September 28th. Fingers crossed that Dracula get's it's October release without any issues. Looking forward to seeing the film again with it's color version and new extras.

Highly recommended if you like British saucy cinema.



I collected as many as i could when i read the book but some of the Confessions / Adventures of series eluded me as they were out of print and going for silly money.

I haven't, but I think i'll need to check it out.

I watched the Adventures films on Amazon the other week. Hadn't seen them in years.

If you get hooked like i did then it'll cost you.

However i'm sure Screenbound will be delighted.

Not saying they ain't.......

The point I'm making is that surely if Indicator can take a chance on films like this,then the Confessions films must surely be a low risk in comparison....

Yeah watched Plumbers Mate and Taxi Driver during the so-called lockdown.

They ain't a patch on Askwith's romps though....

Really thinking these will be coming from Screenbound next year now. If their Mary Millington set is any indication, they're in safe hands.
