That's one I never thought I'd see on blu. Despite the immense amount of talent in writing, acting and even animation it's not a success and I've never really figured out why. Lust fails largely because Harry H Corbett plays it too tragic to be funny, Wrath and Avarice are pretty lifeless, in Envy Harry Secombe is outshone by Geoffrey Bayldon and June Whitfield, Spike Milligan's Sloth is only intermittently funny. There are some good parts, Leslie Philips is splendid in Gluttony, and Pride, with a great script by Galton and Simpson and good acting from Ian Carmichael and Alfie Bass is a complete success. This was Stark's only film as director and I think its failure is down to him as the material and cast are first rate. I really hope there are some extras on the disc.

Stark was fortunate to die before Opertion Yewtree turned its attentions to him. Best quote about him was from John Le Mesurier, who rarely had an unkind word for anyone, “Graham Stark is the only man in London with a flat up Peter Sellers’ arse.”

What with 'I'm All Right Jack' and now this, hope this now raises the chances of 'The Bargee' one Day getting released, lovely little forgotten film that.

Shame on you for mentioning the classic I'm Alright Jack in the same post as tat like The Magnificent 7 Deadly Sins.

Its great to see the lesser classics on Bluray but not sure TM7DS is good enough to get on Blu when I already have a dvd.

Seemed a strange decision to review a 3 year old release. Especially one now OOP and starting to sell for silly money in the resale market.

I can't see any other UK distributor rushing to release this on BD.

Its only £15.99 on Amazon. Amazon tell me I purchased it in 2015. Yet to watch it though

That’s a second hand copy Oxfam are selling via Amazon Marketplace.
As I said the title is OOP.

Yes but saying its OOP usually means its going for high prices which is why I pointed out you can get it for £15 on Amazon. Whether its new or used doesn't really matter.
If something is OOP getting a new one is of secondary importance.
Will you pay £41 for a new one or £15 for a "Very good" one.

Looks like I got mine 5 months after release for £8

Just deck the posh git, roll his car off the road and drive away.

Maybe urinate on him whilst he's out.
