Danger: Diabolik - a guilty pleasure

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/danger-diabolik-1968

Although it's too long and eventually loses track of Itself, "Danger: Diabolik" is very nearly the movie "Barbarella" should have been.

Music by Ennio Morricone.

A Fistful of Dollars

They are also doing For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. on the following two Fridays.

The problem, well one of the problems with channel 5 is whether they'll have OAR prints. Be terrible if they are not 'scope 2.35:1

That's pretty much my issue for any free TV channel that isn't BBC or Channel 4. Can't stand cropped images.

Harry Palmr wrote: »

Sure enough, crappy unsharp 1.78:1 print

Paramount Channel is showing Fistful and Good/Bad/Ugly, the latter is on right now in glorious full OAR Techniscope and is repeated on Sunday at 9 PM, Fistful is next on Saturday at 9 PM but not sure which print that is.

Not really any use for me, since I can't record programmes through Sky's "Other Channels" feature. Makes watching wrestling on ITV a pain, since I can't manage when I can watch them.

If you aren't on the newer SKY Q LNB you should get a Freesat or FTA satellite receiver to get extra channels.

The BBC had the Indy films for years clearly they decided not to hold on to the rights, or they got "repackaged" and the BBC wasn't interested.
