Region 1 Sharpe's Revenge
By

There
are going to be thousands of people out in the wide world who will
be more than a little envious of those who can watch the Sharpe
series on DVD.
The
main reason is the fact that we have seen another two DVD movies
from the Sharpe series and are pretty damn impressed with how they
look and sound.
The
latest additions to pass through our office are Sharpe's Mission
and Sharpe's Revenge.
Sharpe's
Mission is one of the finest of the entire series and Revenge is
not far behind.
My
old tapes of the series have had a severe bashing over the years
and watching them on the pristine DVD format is just magical.
Again
I have to say the picture quality is superb and they are truly brilliant
transfers from TV - although we have not checked out the early films
and therefore these later movies may be of better original stock.
You
can buy these two movies together in a double disc set at a very
good price.
DVD
Extras: Photo Gallery from the Sharpe series, Sharpe fact file.
Comments:
The rotating stills in the gallery will bring back a lot of memories
for fans and is nicely produced. The Sharpe fact file has interesting
information. I would have loved to have seen a making-of doco and
interviews with the cast members - the series deserved it!
Conclusion:
What can you say - other than these movies deserve a space on home
library shelves.
