A copy of the DVD is available from Amazon for £26.95. There are no extras included on the DVD apart from a choice of languages for the subtitles.

Fantastically Good Fun
Advantages: great songs
Disadvantages: none
...her usual finery as accident-prone Calamity Jane and Howard Keel stars fabulously as 'wild' Bill Hicock. This musical includes a good many brilliant musical songs, including 'deadwood stage', 'black hills of dakota', and the popular solo from Doris Day, 'secret love', It starts out as Calamity being in love with the character Danny, who's love is unrequited, and once a newcomer is in town (brought by calamity to perform in the town's theatre), the ...

Moulin rouge is a musical admirers dream
Advantages: Great chemistry between main characters ,feel good film .
Disadvantages: The singing throughout the film can get a bit tiresome
In my opinion you must see the film if you like musicals, otherwise you might find the singing a bit off putting .At times the siniging can seem a bit over the top but in general this is what makes the film interesting.It is worth watching just to see the on screen chemistry between Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman they are a great pairing and seem to have good on screen presence allowing you to follow the romantic tale which is played out .

I'll watch this some more!
Advantages: great family film
Disadvantages: none

I was also lucky to see the West End production many years ago, long before Andrew Lloyd Webber took an interest with his search for a Nancy and an Oliver in the great series ‘I’d do Anything’. My daughters loved watching the TV shows and started picking up the words to some of the songs. Therefore when I ...
...in our big armchair watching Oliver! Oliver! (made in 1968)is based on the classic novel of Oliver Twist that was written by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of a poor workhouse boy who had the audacity to ask for more of the disgusting gruel that was served to all the boys daily while the workhouse governors were fed roast dinners. As a consequence Oliver is sold to the local undertaker where he is teased about his dead mother. Feeling desperate, ...
