If you have a DVD player then you will find this site particularly useful. I have ordered a DVD from play247.com and I was so impressed. First, the site is very efficient although its based in Europe delivery is very quick compared to the likes of letsbuyit.com. My DVD arrived in less than five days which was very impressive and it was sent by recorded delivery.
The prices are competitive and there’s not much difference between other sites. And even if it’s a little bit more expensive, the customer care is very good.
One of their personnel people rang me to ask if I was satisfied with the service that I was offered or if I had any suggestions that I would like me to make.
So, I though that was good they took time out and were obviously interested in feedback.
I don’t like giving my credit card details ...

INTRODUCTION
In 1964 I was taken with school to one of our local cinemas (now ALL the cinemas in the town have gone) to watch David Lean's classic film 'Great Expectation'.
It was old, it was black and white - it was WONDERFUL!!
I have seen many adaptions of the book since that day 45 years ago, but I have never seen one that compares to Lean's film or that was so true to Dickens' book.
What a pairing - Dickens and Lean!!
Dickens's rich characters and gothic Victorian atmosphere combined with the unique and masterful direction of David Lean led to a true cinema masterpiece that has weathered the years well.
Last year I found a new DVD of the 1946 film and it is that DVD that I am about to review.
BACKGROUND
CHARLES DICKENS (1812-70)
Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth in 1812 and grew up ...
rather added in at Steve McQueen's request.
A large portion of the recaptured escapees are machine gunned in a field, in fact they where heartlessly killed in ones and twos, secretly and slyly.
