Cool! I'd love to watch all those westerns again!

36 Hours (1965 - George Seaton) is a solid psychological thriller with an interesting premise. Jim Garner plays an American Intelligence Officer stationed in London as part of the panning for D-Day. He has intimate knowledge of all the plans, and though they realize it's dangerous he makes a regular trip to Portugal just days ahead of the invasion, to keep up appearances that D-Day possibly isn't imminent. The Nazis of course know it is imminent, but don't know the where or when of the landing. They kidnap Garner's Major Jefferson Pike in Lisbon. But rather than try the usual torture and interrogation techniques, they go through an elaborate ruse: Pike wakes up in a hospital where everybody speaks English, including his therapist, played by Rod Taylor. They convince him that although he's only been out for a few hours that it is in fact 1950, the Allies won the war in 1944, and he now suffers from amnesia and has been hospitalized at this special clinic to try and recapture his memory. They hope if he believes it is 1950 that he will casually reel off the details of the invasion that is still days away from actually happening.

Pretty clever, well constructed and well acted, especially by Garner and Taylor. Eva Marie Saint plays a Concentration Camp survivor being forced to help the Nazis with their elaborate subterfuge by romancing Garner. Good piece from the '60s that has gotten lost in the shuffle over the years. This marks its debut on DVD.

Leone's Special Editions only just come out on Region 1 then?

The SE of GB&U was released last year, but the others just finally came out now. Yes. I know they were released everywhere else a while ago. I held off getting them until R1, though.

Well, trust R1s are as nice a package as they are in R2. Guess they've put on more features over the time delay...

Just got 'Escape from New York'.

Its ok.

I am broke, and I told myself I wouldn't buy any more DVDs for a while, but I had to spring for this, as it is a super personal film for me and I just MUST own it. Amazing stuff, and one of my favorite film experiences of the last few years...
