Thanks, Marc,

for your interesting comments! Great you've received the set at last!
It seems that there ARE some interesting extras but it seems rather
expensive if one buys it for the extras only. We can only hope that
the second A&E set will have some of these extras too :-)

No problem with doing the wanted frame captues - just send the set
over :-)) Only kidding. I'm also interested in frame captures from
this set and I think I'm not the only one.

Hi all,

Waking up this morning, it occurred to me that I had completely
overlooked one of the "main" features on the DVD -- The "Making
Of"!!! So I just watched this, and discovered that THIS is
where all the behind-the-scenes photos from the Carlton discs
went! This is a 4 minute piece, featuring a French narrator
and a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos. They don't use all
of the stills on the Carlton discs, but they do use a fair
amount. With just a narrator and some behind-the-scenes
photos, I'm not sure if this really counts as a "Making
Of" documentary... (?) but it's good to see that they at
least used some of the photos...

Marc

Might this at any point include Vladek pics?

Cheers,

Lesley,

You should probably seek professional help about your Sheybal
frame-capture fixation, but in the meantime, if you would care to
nominate a Vladek-rich episode or two, I could grab some more
pics from the Carlton DVDs if you like. Actually, I'm pretty
sure I have From Russia With Love on a DVD as well.

James

I don't think you can do better than Sheybal for the prosecution in 'Court
Martial.' Isn't that the one where Freeman makes the remark about him being
lizard-like or something?

James,

In all honesty I think I like having a Vladek fixation :o)

Okay - my fav Vladek eps are Court Martial, Exposed and the Cat With Ten
Lives :o)

Ohhhhhhhh, you have From Russia on DVD - lucky thing! :o) I'm gonna get
that one of these days - after I 'persuade hubby to get me the UFO DVDs for
my birthday :o)

Thanks you James - you're a star :o)

Cheers,
Lesleyxx

Just so you know...From Russia with Love DVD might be hard to find now, but
the Bond films are being re-released later this year to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of Bond.

Some fan of Vladek you are, James!
All About A Prima Ballerina is a film that Vladek not only acted in but also
wrote and directed in 1980. He also wrote the lyrics to the theme song used
in the film. In the film he plays a actor named Markus who shuts himself up
with his protegee Barbara for two weeks while he is preparing for his next
role. The film is a black comedy. It did very well at the London Film
Festival. It might have gone on to be the British entry in the Oscars but
for the unfortunate fact it was up against Chariots of Fire. So sadly the
film was overlooked and mostly played the art house circuit outside the UK.
Worth seeking out.

James K.

OK - some frame caps from Exposed and Court Martial here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jgibbon/vladek/

No thumbnails or anything - sorry, and once again, I have kept the
filenames meaningless to maintain an element of surprise ;)

Fixate away .. :) .. hope you like them. If you are going to
snarf some of them please do so soonish - I haven't got much
space and will delete them soon.

> Ohhhhhhhh, you have From Russia on DVD - lucky thing! :o)

Yes I have, but my DVD software doesn't seem to like it much -
it fell over as soon as I hit 'play'. So it looks like I won't
be able to get any frame caps from it for now, I'm afraid ..

Cheers
James

James - you're a star! The pics are wonderful :o)

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much - you've made my day :o)

Cheers,

Chrissi to the Rescue :-)

So who wants the Vladek pics from Russia? I did some... hm.. OK - a
lot of frame captures from this movie and I would be glad to send it
to the Ladies who wants them (because there are too many to put it
into Marc's files section). I'll try to send it to Lesley and
Lorraine and to James G. If anyone else is interested in the captures
just tell me.

Best wishes
Christian

Thank you Christian - looking forward to them :o)

Cheers,
Lesleyxx
