Here to lay some flowers for the late, great Michael Culver, aka Dr Underhill, who died a few days ago. A versatile and much-loved actor and activist. RIP, “injaynious” to the last.

Michael Horden one of may favourite actors, was brilliant at what ever he did. Marvellous and unique voice, he was able to bring to life all and everything. Not enough of his work is available. I collect what I can. Thank you for uploading this series as Albert Finney is another unique actor that I love to watch as he is brilliant in all that he did.

I enjoyed this so much when it first aired, never forgot it. Quite superb and it stands up very well today. The score is very special in the creepy bits. I re-watch it every few years and I see things not previously noticed each time.

So true. So many people these days cannot appreciate some of the old black & white films. Like the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I do like the new one but the original was so great. Just like the 1956 version of The Bad Seed. The little girl actress was so good at being so evil.

Same here. I've never forgotten it and finally found it on KZbin yesterday. Managed to watch this first episode yesterday and can't wait to watch the rest. I even read the book a few years ago, both because I thought I'd enjoy the read, which I did, but also because I figured I'd never get to see the video again.

Yes. Best ever version of A Christmas Carol. I used to have a colour version of it on VHS tape but I lost it somewhere between wives. Wouldn't be any use now because hardly anyone has a player. I believe the same version (introduced by Patrick McNee, who was in the 1951 film) is available on DVD but I just read a review of it and it doesn't sound like the quality is up to much.

This is a very compelling 3 part series. Albert Finney is superb in the role. Finney is such a good actor that as a side point, Agatha Christie said of all the actors that she had watched play Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express versions, Finney was the best. It is a 1974 film well worth watching.

After 'Under the Volcano', Finney really was THE man to go to for civilized philandering drunkards teetering on the edge of death. Amis could not have hoped for a better protagonist for this particular novel. Malcolm Bradbury did a bang-up job with the script for 'Porterhouse Blue' from the comic novel by Tom Sharpe.
@Arnot5177 жыл бұрын
I remember that back in the 1960 s as well as prior years, it was regarded as the height of Sociability to drink frequently, even before the guests arrived and a matter of Pride to be able to "Hold" ones booze. I remember the saying "one for the road" yet another drink before driving home or to a bar. Sadly, some are not only into drink but drugs as well.

Thanks for sharing this. It is a very hard to find movie. Albert Finney is perfect for the part. The Kingsley Amis novel that it is based upon is also a very good short read. Amis also wrote 'Everyday Drinking' which shows just how seriously he took his beers, spirits and wines. If they were to show it again on tv, in a higher definition I would be a viewer.
