Advantages: 40" black cheapish, good brand, great picture, high spec Disadvantages: overwelling features, loads to go wrong
(such snobbery, not me my missus).
I spent hours searching the interweb looking for TV's using Ciao, Kelkoo Price runner to no avail.
Then I tripped across a not so well know site, how I got to it I don’t know but the site digitaldirect.co.uk seemed worth the Sherlock Holmes treatment.
And it was £20 delivery for UK main land yea! And £855.01 for a black Sony TV Bobs your uncle, I order it on line and it was setup and working 3 days later.
The TV is a thin slender and very light compared to the stogy brick we moved out, I had not bought a TV for years having had no need but my how things have changed.
The spec list and techy gumf for this TV is out of this world so I'll start.
The TV SONY.KDL-40S2530U 40" HD Ready IDTV Twin HDMI.
The screen size is a diagonal 40" with wait for it 1366x768 pixels resolution, (I must ...
Advantages: Great dialogue, cinematography and acting Disadvantages: Can be too quaint to be taken seriously by modern audiences.
how she can explain her relationship with Alec to her husband. Most of the film passes in flashback, gradually making sense of those opening moments, with occasionally shocking results.
The flashback is also introduced in extremely flashy style for 40s cinema, Laura?s living room gradually cross-fades to the railway station as she watches from her couch.
This is a wonderfully made film, I can?t stress this enough. There is the highest attention to all areas of the production and the performances are superb, repressed passion oozing from the two leads.
But there?s a problem, as always. To modern eyes, the film looks like a museum piece. Steam trains, telephones the size of computers and everyone speaks as though they?ve just run out of finishing school. With ancient cars and organ players in the cinema auditorium, it?s clear that we ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Brief Encounter (DVD)
.
The highlight of the film for me was watching Audrey Hepburn dance. Apart from a few scenes in my Fair Lady, I hadn't seen her dance before, but I remember hearing she was a trained ballerina and that was very evident in Funny Face. Her grace and beauty are a joy to watch and my favourite part of the film was her jazz dance in the Paris café (which the DVD case described as "a 'Basal Metabolism' dance in a cool-cat bistro" - er, yeah, whatever?).
Another good thing to say about the film is that the fashions are interesting to see and often beautiful. There are some good shots of Paris too, although the insertion of stock footage makes this somewhat disjointed at times. Still, this was the 1950s and special effects were very basic then.
The sub-plot involving Professor Flostre (Michel Auclair) failed to provide the interesting diversion I hoped ...
