VHS : Lord Peter Wimsey: Clouds of Witness
Dorothy L. Sayers writes many non-fiction books however among her best is the Lord Peter Wimsey series. I came to this series sort of though the back door. My first taste was the BBC productions with Petherbridge as Lord Peter that can now be found on DVD ASIN: B000062XDX. So I read all of Dorothy's books containing the relationship of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. Now it is time to go through the whole series.
Now I watch the one I missed in PBS. The first thing I notices was that Ian Carmichael talks much faster than Petherbridge. And all the people seem older. Of course Peter was supposed to be older when he met Harriet.

Lord Peter returns from Corsica. To find his older brother the Duke of Denver (David Langton) practically accused of murder. What is worse is his ... Read More

VHS : Lord Peter Wimsey - Murder Must Advertise
I vaguely remember watching Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter Wimsey when this episode first aired in the 1970s. Nearly 20 years ago I first discovered the joys of reading the Dorothy Sayers Wimsey stories and have read nearly all of them.

I just finished reading "Murder Must Advertise" when I purchased this DVD set. The only disappointment--I was well into the book before I realized that Peter Wimsey and Death Bredon are the same person--something that's obvious from the get-go when watching the DVD.

I also own the Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane set starring Edward Petherbridge--but Ian Carmichael, for me, makes a far better Wimsey.

VHS : Robbery
When will this brilliant British crime film be released on dvd? With a
great contemporary jazzy soundtrack and tight, gripping direction and
night-location shooting by Peter Yates, this is one of the best heist
caper films ever made. Intelligent, serious, and well-paced, it also
has one of the best car chases ever filmed (before "Bullitt" and by the
same director). I've loved this movie since I first saw it back in the
late 60's. I have a VHS copy, but this needs to be on dvd, with special
features. A great, cool film and a British 60's classic. DVD please!

4.Funeral in Berlin starring: Michael Caine, Paul Hubschmid, Oskar Homolka, Eva Renzi, Guy Doleman
