I do try and keep receipts just in case, Don. :lol: Although they always seem to get mislaid.
Gray, you're not nosey at all, I always like to discuss films. Last night watched "Dr Syn The Scarecrow" with Patrick McGoohan and Tony Britton. A Walt Disney classic! 8)

Just picked up Meryl Streep's Julie & Julia. Will be watching it tonight.
I am sure Meryl will be brilliant again as always.

Hi Gray. Dr Syn Alias The Scarecrow was released in 1963, also known under another title "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh". It was originally shown in the sixties on TV in 3 episodes because it is well over 2 hours in length, however the version I have is an edited version unfortunately. It was released on dvd a few years ago, the uncut version, and is now deleted and fetches a pretty high price. My copy is from the TV, still good, but about half an hour shorter unfortunately. A good film though, with an excellent cast, about smugglers.

Thanks for this John.
I have to be honest and say I've never heard of it at all.

Has anyone else seen this?

To be honest Gray, I think I have only seen it once before, on TV a couple of years ago. :)

Last night I watched a couple of PBS Music Specials, wonderful performances from the likes of Patti Page, Ed Ames, The Four Aces, The Four Prep plus many more all singing fantastically some 50 years on. I can watch these over again, and the applause from the audiences are fantastic, they really appreciate it.
