Shots of an octopus with bits glued on. A complete finale let-down to what was an otherwise very creepy film.

I never realised that Kitty White was in Night of the Hunter. It was a strange film, full of symbolism and atmosphere and there are similar echoes in King Creole. Black and White images with something disturbing.

If it,s so great why are you tramling the flowers under foot

Imagine how great it would be to be able to go out in the evening and watch this after a rotten day at work.

No i didn't come here via some inferior thing that tries to pass for a comedy programme.

I came here following some of the great theme tunes to the classic series that came out when British television was equal to anything that could be put on in the west end of London.

It is only be...

This is not the original.

It looks more like a Rodgers and Hamerstein musical than opera. Zeffirelli should remember that Broadway and Opera are two different art forms, each great in their own way when done properly but you cannot mix them. It doesn't work.

I saw this film when it first came out and i left the cinema in awe. Iknew that i had just seen something that was very, very special. It is doubtful whether this film could be remade today on such a creative level.

I wonder who the two plonkerheads are who've voted dislike. Orcs probably. Subhumans.

Lesley is a real down to earth Yorkshire lass and a credit to the world of opera, a world which is sometimes taken over by the purists who tend to snort down their nostrils at anything less than grand opera. Look on them with pity for what they are missing.

I was never a fan of the Beatles as a group but it's marvelous how they used to set everyday poignant episodes of life into words and music. Pieces like this are their true legacy.

Compare this to the crappy follow up "An American Werewolf in Paris"

WIth CGI almost everything that is generated looks flat. Watch the werewolves in the follow up, they look like shadows with bits painted in. It's like mixing cartoons with reality and the horror genre is not the place for that.

There have been many perfomances by different actors over the years playing Caligula but this is the superlative performance by which all others must be judged. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

It cannot be coincidense that the worlds greatest music came from Europe.

Simple.

They sound like some amateur school band. Some of them don't seem to be in time with the others and some seem to be playing more notes than they should be doing. There is no tightness to the performance.

Listen to the same piece played by the Salvation Army Band or the Black Dyke...

To think that America gave all this up for Frankie Avalon & co.

Thank goodnes that British rockers kept the flame burning.

I return to my former charge that documentary makers will not let the truth stand in the way of a good story and i ask you this question. "Do you categorically deny that documentaries of this sort are never edited to reflect the views of those who are involved in producing them...

Why do we have a load of boneheads prattling on about pronunciatiation. No matter which of the many beautiful languages used on this planet that you speak, this is Disney at his greatest. Just sit and enjoy one of the greatest cinematic experiences that you are ever likely to see.

I have recieved an e-mail from bkeay 100 saying that this recording is the best and "If i do not like this i am dead from the neck up". Looking at my comment of 2 months ago can someone please explain to me what he/she is on about.

See my response on the first ten minutes.

I remember the hanging of Ruth Ellis and this film was loosely based on that case.

The death penalty must never be reinstated. It is the reaction of mob rule. Murder must carry a sentence of life imprisonment and life must mean life with no parole.

Why oh why did the women's movement which had produced some of Britain's finest daughters allow themselves to be corrupted by the likes of Germain Greer and her feminist accolytes who have since admitted that most of the things they advocated were wrong.

Equality must come from mutual respect and...

Can anyone explain why RCA suddenly stopped the backing for Tomita. It must have been obvious from the sales and positive reviews from magazines like "Grammaphone" that they had something unique but all of a sudden it all came to a standstill and Tomita went back to Japan. I've never been able to...

Thanks for your e-mail Paul.

I have listened to Petrushka as you suggested and as you say it is a vast improvement on Karalia but can i make a further suggestion? Keep the bass down a bit and experiment more with tonal qualities. I don't think it was a co-incidence that Tomita chose composers w...

I too have this LP and when i bought it in 1976 i was one one of the lucky ones because here in Britain it was withdrawn from sale a few weeks later due to the fact that Gustav Holst's daughter Imogen still held copyright on his music and RCA had not sought her permission before issuing the reco...

I think that if Tomita had done this he would have used a greater pallette of sounds and made a more open canvas to paint the musical picture he had in his mind but keep up the good work. You are getting there.

Only someone who has been in the entertainment business as long as Joan Hickson could have carried this off. Thes days too many important series are built around actors who have only a limited range when it comes to real acting. They haven't done their apprenticeship in the acting business and it...

The next stage in your evolutionary chain is a slug. If you had one hundredth of this womans courage you might amount to something but I am afraid that in this life you are destined to be one of nature's lowest forms. Better luck next time - that is if you make it .
