Gee, Jodie is just a young girl in this clip.

David ( "no longer the Fugitive" ) Janssen, is still looking reasonably fit here.

wow even at that age she looked

like a very good actress ^.^

Just got the movie on DVD - chilling, and Janssen is superb; his interplay with the always-underrated Clu Gulager is superb. Andrea Marcovicci as Jennifer English is uneven - at times Jenny was sweet but other times she came off as a bit spineless.

@komodoman Thanks Will check this out, didn't know you can get it changed. It's actually a fairly new Blu - ray but think it's just for Region2. Will check the book!

I don't buy many DVDs I have to say, has to be really good stuff and there's not a lot of that around for me. This is though and I hope it's the start of more of Harry O.

Thanks again for your help, really appreciate it as I'm not a DVD buff.

@Freddowasher Region 1 yes, but in all fairness so would a normal DVD release of the series be. But Warner in Europe could surprise us of course and bring it out. Don't know what the chances are of that though, if we want to benefit from all the stuff in general released in the US there's only one thing to do; a region-free player. Most stores can fix your old player's code quite cheaply, 20+ quid, no need to buy a new one.

@komodoman Thanks for the info. Looks a good site. However it says it's Region 1 there which is no use. It's about time Warner Bros got their act together and got a full international release of this series on DVD. I suspect they may be testing the water but a lot of people won't dip in unless they're sure of the version.

@Freddowasher Just saw it's also on the PlanetAxel site, I think they ship to anywhere and their service is tops.

[Freddowasher]

@komodoman Still not available on the e-bay & Amazon UK sites only the .coms unfortunately so no shipping or taxes included. Also it's Region 0 so not sure it will play on my DVD. Will need to check this out as 0 isn't an official setting. Rhubarb! Rhubarb! Rhubarb!

[komodoman]

@Freddowasher Amazon now carry it too, it's on eBay as well. Here's hoping WAC are sorting out rights to get the whole show out, preferably on ordinary DVD rather than DVD-R, but of course after so much waiting for fans almost any format would do now.

This is being released from the Warner Brothers Archive. It was the second pilot "Smile Jenny You're Dead". Hope it becomes available to buy in the UK and more DVDs are coming!

Love Love Love David Janssen.......... Wish they would bring out Harry O on dvd.

[Katzenhase]

This "Harry O" episode is not "Guardian at the Gates".

This episode with Jodie Foster is called "Smile, Jenny, you´re dead". It was a 90 minute episode!
