I've just got back from a short break from Chester and I feel a bit
as I broke my promise to myself regarding these recent releases.
Let me set the scene, I walk into Virgin Megastore, hoping to look at some of the R2 Fox Studio Classics (of which there was a lack off) when I walk into the 'F' section and lo and behold, Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, were sitting there. Imedialty my brain told me, no! Wait for the R1's they could be better. Then I saw the price £11.99 each and then my crazy Leone fan inside me broke out and shouted BUY!BUY!BUY! However, I put them down and walked off to HMV (as you do.) This mourning, I nipped out and bought them (reasoning that this'll only be a double dip, wait untill you buy them again) and put them on in the DVD player of the car. Boy I am glad that I bought them. To have them anamorphic and with an improved A/V (despite the glaring omission of mono) and some interesting extras (though I must admit the continue referance in the booklet and synopsis at the back to the Eastwood character being the 'man with no name' is sort of driving me crazy) (Plus also broke the rule, no more DVD's till Sopranos Season 5 comes as New York holiday is coming up soon) Oh well I'm going to enjoy these and they have been placed among all my other Leone DVD's to have a completed Dollars trilogy of the SE's.
