Your comment reminded me that I might see if I can get hold of a DVD - checked it out on Amazon. Goodness me. If you want a real education in sad people, have a look at the one-star customer reviews and, more especially, the comments on those reviews placed there by The Faithful, after they had recovered their poise...<br /><br />Cult movies.<br /><br />Filmed in the West of Scotland - Galloway, Ayrshire, Plockton - even a bit of Skye.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-53878290197974726112017-03-14T10:57:08.300+00:002017-03-14T10:57:08.300+00:00Nice to be living somewhere considered photogenic ...Nice to be living somewhere considered photogenic by the arty crowd. Melbourne is perhaps best known as the setting for the nuclear-era end of the world flick On The Beach (1959). One of its stars, Ava Gardner, is supposed to have said that our fair city is the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world!Steve Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440638652987274722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-24771875201346817092017-03-13T18:04:53.374+00:002017-03-13T18:04:53.374+00:00Errant thought.....'The Wicker Man' - the ...Errant thought.....'The Wicker Man' - the original version with Ewar Woowar (letter 'd' not invented...remember?) had a rather attractive Young lady....bloody memory gone....also in a rural Scottish setting....?<br />Iainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019211742732388369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-4577506541285256302017-03-10T09:55:26.448+00:002017-03-10T09:55:26.448+00:00Good idea - we'll have to commission an approp...Good idea - we'll have to commission an appropriate figure.<br /><br />Just as well that the Bass Rock was not fogbound when they were filming! Apparently she complained constantly about the cold throughout the sequences, and spent off-camera time swathed in scarves and big jumpers.<br /><br />She is also said to have had dinner with Gordon Smith (the former Hibs footballer) and his wife one evening during this visit - Smith retired to North Berwick when his playing days were over. Friends of mine who are Hearts fans are inconsolable over this news.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-82538562080011402562017-03-10T09:22:57.279+00:002017-03-10T09:22:57.279+00:00New wargaming thread on Prometheus in Aspic.....&#...New wargaming thread on Prometheus in Aspic.....'Newcastle Besieged to Rescue Bardot'Iainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019211742732388369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-42963868562158335332017-03-09T14:16:56.566+00:002017-03-09T14:16:56.566+00:00Mmm.Mmm.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-88950009583410098912017-03-09T14:16:37.073+00:002017-03-09T14:16:37.073+00:00Interesting idea.
