Doctor Syn

[tenaya]

Anyone remember that lovely movie with Patrick McGoohan? It was based on the novels of Russell Thorndike and they have been out of print for decades. Apparently, some publishing house has reprinted them because Amazon has a few titles of the series, published in June of 2004. I'm so excited! That movie though...I was utterly captivated by McGoohan's Dr. Syn. Powerful, mysterious, heroic and a total rogue--when he wasn't being the milktoast vicar. And he was sexy as hell. I must have been all of 5 years old when I was swept away by the goings on at Romney Marsh.

Did I mention I was excited?

Ooh. I loved that movie too! I can barely remember it, but I do remember being enthralled by the main character. We'll have to have a viewing when you get it!

I think I might have a copy of this on VHS. Somewhere. I'd love to see it again. I see they are selling for like $70 on ebay. Huh. If I find it, let's get some popcorn and watch it.

Did you see the "DVD mystery"? That apparently at one point Amazon.com was taking names for a waiting list, but now they've stopped, and are saying the DVD will be available "some time in 2005".

Yeah, I saw that. Looks like they are going to release it (maybe) just before a Warner Bros film with a similar set up. If that's the case, then we'll have it by June. Finger's crossed!

VHS tapes are selling in the hundreds for this - I was flabbergasted.
