Can it be, DVD? Just want to say how happy I am to see that finally this most excellent movie will be on DVD. I see it's being offered on ebay by a guy in England, the package says it's a Columbia Classics, so will we get it in the States soon? I sure hope so, our 3rd VHS tape of this movie has had it. A family favorite for years...we love the whole cast, especially the dry Tony Hancock, "I know, I Know"
Better Than Ever - After 41 Years TCM (Turner Classic Movies),finally, showed TWB on Nov 28, 2007.
I viewed it and the print was EXCELLENT!
Also, the Script and the Humor still work.
Unquestionably, a DVD Release is forthcoming.
Whenever, it will be worth waiting for.
Let The Anticipation Begin.
Wrong Box is perfect for a DVD The Wrong Box is a wonderful movie that is long overdue to be issued on DVD. If anyone sees this before November 28, 2007, it will be shown on TCM at 11:45PM. Can that be a good sign??? Everyone in the cast is marvelous. Do not miss this movie if you have a chance to see it.
A too long buried treasure I can still remember when and where, and with whom, I saw this wonderful movie. A hopeless romantic at heart, I went out and bought the soundtrack, a 33 LP, and still play those songs on the piano.Funny,clever Peter Sellers and Dudley Moore were at their best. I can still see Sellers blotting his ink with a kitten. It seems odd that a book by Robert Louis Stevenson (in collaboration with his son in law) could be turned into such a memorable romantic comedy,and odder yet that it has not been made available on DVD or Netflix. There is, I hope, an ultimate accounting for taste.
A prayer to the DVD gods Among many others, I, too, remain bewildered by the absence on DVD format of this brilliantly hillarious film. All the performances mentioned in these Amazon reviews were terrific; I just want to add Wilfred Lawson's butler Peacock for special mention.
