You're forgetting the 1954 "Casino Royale" episode of the anthology show Climax!, in which Barry Nelson played CIAgent James Bond, while Felix Leiter was his MI-6 buddy. And Peter Lorre thrown in as Le Chiffre for good measure.

True that, though I was obviously referring to the Eon film series.

My post heralding Barry Nelson beat yours by an hour, Jay, but apparently you and Rochester have me on Ignore after my part in the notorious penis thread! Oh the ignominy!

Well, obviously. But you didn't really imagine that you wouldn't get taken to task for it anyway, did you?

Its certain there will be more sales this year giving that TT seems to be in a period of liquidation.

most people are assuming that TWILIGHT TIME is on it's last legs. If that's the case, then titles will most likely keep dropping in a "clearance" sort of way.

No doubt. I do hope the next drop is at least $5 though, cause I'm not biting on any more at say $12.95. Bring it on & get it done.

I wish they wound extend this sale another month. Trying to decide what titles to order has my head spinning.

Low quantity update via the Twilight Time sale . About a day or less remaining

Sold out at Twilight Time and gone via both sites : La Moglie Piu Bella

Also current low quantities at Twilight Time

2 x Edge of Eternity
6 x Harlock
33 x Cowboy


Very low quantities remaining at SAE

Peyton Place under 65
Flaming Star under 75

Also possible to sell out Alamo Bay & American Buffalo they are really low as well

[Bradsdadg]

I have a feeling they will just extend this sale and keep the prices the same. I'd like to see a bigger drop with the $14.95 titles though. I have about 20 or so that I would get at their $8.95 range

Not sold out at Twilight Time. It comes up with a search, and I was able to add a copy to my cart (which I then promptly deleted, since I already have a copy).

TwilightTime site has been acting fairly screwy for a couple days. Items with 30-400+ copies will suddenly act like they are sold out and 15-30 minutes later come back to active. I'm not sure if they are updating items, but I saw a few items do this Tuesday. All day on Wednesday groups of 4-12 items at a time have gone dead, come back up, and then a different group of titles will have the ADD TO CART button disabled. Most Beautiful Wife I've noticed 'dead' a couple different times today.

About 30-45 minutes ago at least 12 items were unable to ordered, now all 12 are back live. It been pretty rare since Noon ET Wed that all active titles have been live at the same time. I have all the active TT titles in my Wish List so it's pretty easy to check it quickly. I've done so several times today just to figure out if there was a pattern (studio or alphabet or release date), but so far it just looks random

Exactly. This is what I'm waiting...hoping for. (To quote an old Beatles song!)

Actually, a Buddy Holly song that the Beatles covered.

I wonder if it's just some sort of system to ensure that items that are getting low in stock don't get oversold.

Anyone make any international orders from Screen archive lately? What was the delivery time like with them, know that there is a pandemic ongoing but just curious to know if it's weeks or months as VS is managing to get parcels from the US to Europe in 5 days.
