I managed to get hold of this elusive movie on e-Bay in VHS format, again for just a couple of pounds. Why it's not yet available in the UK in DVD format is beyond me - what an awesome movie. It's made me into even more of a fan of Humphrey Bogart who plays a ragged, gritty character slipping into an insane bout of gold lust. Walter Huston is also brilliant in this movie. Enthralling plot too with a very clever ending. I'm not suprised this 1948 movie is such a classic and number 66 on the IMDB list.
So that's 99 movies out 100. Just one to go - the 1944 version of Double Indemnity. It's the rarest of the top 100 movies in the UK, though I hear rumours it's being released in the UK in April. I'll also be keeping a tight watch on e-Bay.

I sure wish I had the time so see all the movies you have seen. So envious!! What are you going to do with yourself when you have see all 100!! I must go and have a look at e-bay sometime. Everyone keeps mentioning it and it sounds quite intreguing (spelling!) Love Joanne
Hi there Jo Lovely to get a message from you! Once I've seen the 100th movie, I still have the top 250 list to pursue (or maybe not!) It was great talking to you on the phone on the weekend. Give those little ones a squeeze from their uncle. Love G
