featuring Sangster), and some (American) shorts. Will likely be released this summer.

I was totally let down by STRANGLERS when I saw it on TV back in the 60s. But I would like to see the uncut UK version.

I'm sure they'll put me into a lasting state of drool-on-the-pillow unconsciousness but I'd be willing to give them all another spin. Thanks!,
whoever's responsible for getting this stuff out of the vaults!

Before I clicked on the thread I saw that the title included the word "Hammer" and that the most recent poster was Tom Weaver. I was smiling all the way to the bottom of the page. Thanks for not disappointing, Tom! |

Hmm, since I tend to like Hammer Sci-Fi more than Horror I would be surprised If I like these Adventure films

I'm really glad to hear this a possible summer release so that the Hammer wealth will be spread out a bit. Thanks for all you hard work on this Mike S.!

Actually, its interesting how Casino Royale did it all with SPFX for the beginning scene and how theres really is no need to do footage like that any more.
