  Perhaps surprisingly, the British comedy legend Norman Wisdom has made just 20 films, from his debut in Date With a Dream (1948) to the thriller Double-X (1992). From 1948 on he had his own TV series, Wit and Wisdom, but 1953 was the real turning point. Not only was his son Nicholas born, but he became an instant movie star with the release of Trouble in Store. Playing a character called Norman he brought his familiar stage and television personality to the big screen as a young man with the ambition to become a window dresser in a major department store. Ever loveable victim of his own clumsiness, all Norman's efforts to improve himself result in chaos. That is, until he meets Sally (Lana Morris), the girl of his dreams. Then things turn disastrous. Co-starring Margaret Rutherford, Trouble in Store introduced Wisdom's self-penned song which would become his theme, "Don't laugh at Me ('Cause I'm a Fool)". The film became a massive box-office hit and won Wisdom a BAFTA Award. Very much of its time, yet still highly entertaining, this video release provides the opportunity to nostalgically revisit and reassess one of Britain's greatest stars. Wisdom's follow-up was another substantial hit, One Good Turn (1954). --Gary S. Dalkin

• Black Beauty | DVD | (01/09/2003) from £11.49   |  Saving you £-5.50 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  It would be easy to pass by this movie, based on Anna Sewell's famous novel Black Beauty, on the assumption that it's dated and twee. Well, perhaps it is a little, but the sheer quality of the whole enterprise places it in the front rank of children's cinema classics. Screenwriter Wolf Mankowitz's ability to harness both literary and popular techniques in the same work (also true of his written fiction) remains unsurpassed in this captivating tale of Beauty's eventful life, from being raised as a foal by the devoted Joe (Lester), then passing through the hands of various owners before being purchased by, supposedly, Miss Sewell herself, to be once more cared for by a now-adult Joe who is in her employ. Along the way, Beauty passes through the hands of gypsies, a circus owner, a family of aristocrats and is even ridden into war, with each episode being expertly cast (Mower is in particularly fine form as a mad, bad and dangerous army officer) and produced to the highest cinematic standards--even the exterior lighting is perfect. Absolutely recommended. The 4:3 DVD is a transfer of exceptionally high quality and includes the cinema trailer, an image gallery of stills and collector-enthusing promotional ephemera (presented in a thumb-saving slideshow format) and, rather incongruously, a trailer for Help! I'm a Fish!--Roger Thomas

• Jane Eyre | DVD | (11/11/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  This 1943 version of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was made just two years after Citizen Kane, and it certainly looks like star Orson Welles muscled his way behind the camera much of the time. (In fact, co-star Joan Fontaine--who plays the title character--has maintained that Welles methodically did just that every day on the set.) Not that the film's official director was a hack: Robert Stevenson gets the credit, a man who later had a busy career at Disney making numerous live-action hits such as Mary Poppins. But there's no mistaking Welles' masterful hand in this film's bold and creative look, and there's no getting away from his enigmatic charisma as Rochester, the widower who takes in Jane as a governess to his daughter. An engrossing, gorgeous film, there's even a small role for Elizabeth Taylor at the beginning as Jane's unlucky, doomed friend at a cruel boarding school. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Colin's Sleazy Friends, The Best Of | DVD | (29/07/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £7.99

  Billed as "Wayne's World for Adults", Colin's Sleazy Friends has become America's most notorious cult cable-television viewing since struggling comedian Colin Malone started it back in 1992. Subtle it ain't. The premise is simple: to invite sex industry insiders, porn stars--on the whole, it must be said, of the female and spectacularly breasted variety--and the occasional outsider to provide a very thin veneer of intellectual analysis into the studio to chat, demonstrate their art or strut their foul-mouthed stuff for the overweight, uncouth and hairy Colin. According to Malone, it's first and foremost a comedy show. And occasionally it is very funny indeed. Eye-popping moments include Veronica Brazil's frank account of masturbatory over-indulgence, a demonstration of a sling on a bungee rope and a shaving session that leaves nothing to the imagination. Once you've heard one raucous discussion about the merits of double penetration, though, you've probably heard them all. And unless your appetite for silicon-enhanced girl-on-girl nipple nuzzling and amateur gynaecology is insatiable, a little of Colin's Sleazy Friends goes a long way. On the other hand, it presents a lack of inhibition which will be a whole new world for the average terrestrial viewer and certainly generates a voyeuristic appeal all its own. And as an ironic take on the porn trade, stripped of any aura of eroticism, it works very well. Whether Malone had that in mind is another question. On the DVD: The Very Best of Colin's Sleazy Friends on DVD is, depending on your point of view, either of simply dismal sound and picture quality or an authentic evocation of home video transmitted over cable. Plenty of extras include outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage, all of which shed more light on the bizarre studio world in which acres of naked female flesh are paraded, poked, prodded and jiggled by Malone, his sidekick Dino and their totally uninhibited guests.--Piers Ford
