Further adventures in British film (part 1)

My excursions into the world of the British classics continue. I'm going to split this post into two parts, lest it become overwhelmingly long.
When is a top 10 not a top 10? )

A nice pair of Genes

(I am SO sorry. Somehow I seem to be in a mood for dreadful puns these days.)

If you're a classic movie buff, the Warner Archive Collection is pretty much the greatest site in the history of time. They're putting out all sorts of rare movie and TV classics on DVD. (That is, on DVD-R, which, I'm told, will only play in a DVD player. I don't know why they went that route. Cheaper, maybe?) As [livejournal.com profile] stillsparkling pointed out the other day, they've got Jimmy Stewart's detective series Hawkinswhich I don't think I ever got to see before.

AND they've got something I've been pining for, literally for decades: The Cross of Lorraine, one of Gene Kelly's few non-musical films.


Gotta love those Irish Frenchmen )
