Ditto -- DVD to public library donation.

Excellent low-key movie.

Worth the price.

Croupier is an excellent film. Glad it's finally coming to Blu.

Need to see this again, since I still don't quite get the ending. I know it had something to do with the CO character's father, but it wasn't quite clear...

I recently purchased the Hen's Tooth bluray of The Private Eyes with Tim Conway and Don Knotts. I was very pleased with it. It may not be reference quality, but it was definitely a big step up from the DVD.

I'm kinda kicking myself for not pre-ordering a month back or so when they had it at $17.50. I haven't ever seen prices drop on hen's tooth releases after release.

Owen was never actually considered/approached for Bond. 100% rumor confirmed by him
