"Actor: Gabriella Licudi"

• Soft Beds, Hard Battles | DVD | (07/10/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  A genius he may have been, but Peter Sellers' film work often demonstrated appalling lapses of taste, as with the weak wartime farce Soft Beds, Hard Battles. Little more than a vehicle for a range of Sellers racial stereotypes and an excuse to feature a succession of scantily clad young women, the film centres on a Parisian brothel during the Second World War and its various clients from all the countries involved. Thus Sellers is given reign to trot out his comedy Frenchman, Englishman, German and Chinaman-—none of which come across as anything other than hugely dated. The plot is weak and the hopelessly erotic air gives a feel of Confessions of a Window Cleaner in uniform or "'Allo 'Allo: The Movie". With so many better examples of Sellers' work available, this must surely be close to the bottom of anyone's list. On the DVD: Soft Beds, Hard Battles's picture and sound are bright and bawdy, with some degree of digital remastering obviously having taken place. There is a 10-minute selection of material deleted from the original cinematic print but these are merely odds and sods that cannot save Soft Beds, Hard Battles from being little more than a woefully outdated curio. --Phil Udell

• Unearthly Stranger | DVD | (03/11/2014) from £8.29   |  Saving you £1.70 (20.51%)   |  RRP £9.99

  A cleverly conceived eerily atmospheric sci-fi chiller Unearthly Stranger stars future Baron Munchausen John Neville as a scientist engaged in an experimental project like no other; Gabriella Licudi is his beautiful but otherworldly wife who becomes the subject of great interest for his government superiors. This original intelligent and compelling feature from award-winning Avengers director John Krish is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. TP91 is a secret and highly complex formula which will enable man to project himself through time and space; work in the field is conducted with the utmost security using the finest scientific brains in the country. When Dr Munro succeeds in solving the first part of the formula he is found dead before he is able to pass on the invaluable result with the all-important paper bearing his calculations in ashes on his desk. His successor government scientist Dr Mark Davidson quickly senses that both he and his new wife are now in grave danger...

• Herostratus (DVD + Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (24/10/2011) from £11.48   |  Saving you £10.50 (110.64%)   |  RRP £19.99

  When Max, a young poet (played by the iconic Michael Gothard) hires a marketing company to turn his suicide-by-jumping into a mass-media spectacle, he finds that his subversive intentions are quickly diluted into a reactionary gesture, and his motivations are revealed as a desperate attempt to seek attention through celebrity. Unseen since its limited release in 1967, this audacious and prescient - yet criminally overlooked - work by experimental filmmaker Don Levy left a profound mark on the landscape of late-1960s British cinema, with echoes of its visual style evident in the more celebrated work of such notable directors as Stanley Kubrick, Nicolas Roeg and Michael Winner.
