This greatest of movies in the British genre features Ms Greta Scacchi who
was arguably at that time perhaps the most beautiful woman known to man.
She is by the way half German (her mother) and half Italian (her father)
(more below):
920 X 646 H.264 720p HD video format at fully 8000k video bitrate 192k AC3 stereo
main audio track Dual audio - choose from English or German. (That's the full audio currently available it seems, as obtained from the Euro disc copy from Germany
copy I paid fifty bucks for on ebay back a decade ago)
Subtitles folder this time includes Dutch English German Romanian Spanish Russian
The English SRT file included can be converted to any other supported language such as Italian or Swedish etc in moments using subtitles editor "automatic translation" (from Danish site on the net www.nikse.dk)
Until such time as when there might be a decision to release this greatest
of British genre movies in full bluray format. We hope you will find this offering here will well tide you over as it were
To our knowledge this movie has never been released on disc or digital
download sales into the North American market which makes no sense whatsoever I submit. No bluray there either yet it seems - that
we must change I say, as there is obvious interest in her great spirit offered
by moviegoers in Germany as evidenced by the release of at least a PAL version
on DVD of this supreme work of genius in humanistic art of merit!
We have converted to HD using Handbrake 2 pass conversion for best results
as we have no intention of waiting any longer than need be for an improvement
over what we are able to make available to the best fans - the fans who have
good taste over what seems to insist on prevailing somehow instead through the manipulation of the marketplace with such gross minded incompetence as we have never seen the likes of in regards to this movie example for one I say and submit in our matters of what has been our crusade on culture and good taste in manners.
This movie tells a great tale, has some sexy scenes (real steamy I'd say!)
nice courtroom drama, and supreme British culture in the charms of Diana
(Lady Broughton) as most supremely and intelligently and most
humanly played by Ms. Greta Scacchi.
Directed by Mr. Michael Radford, also starring Mr. Charles Dance
Sarah Miles, Joss Ackland, Ray McAnally, Hugh Grant and John Hurt
Its my most favorite movie offering of all that is British related too (culturally speaking, in some way, in any event) I have to say without a doubt!
enjoy and please seed this one - ta! danke! grazie! gracias! merci! tack!
