Hard To Find Films
Films From the Silent era and up that you can't find anywhere else!
Hammer's trademark gothic style permeates this suspenseful thriller, considered one of the acclaimed British studio's superior efforts, thanks largely to the directorial skills of Peter Sasdy. This marked his last feature-length collaboration with the studio until 1980, when he returned to direct installments of the Hammer House of Horror television series. In the film's prologue, young Anna, the infant daughter of the notorious Jack the Ripper, witnesses her mother's brutal murder at her father's hands. Years later, the lovely teenage Anna (Angharad Rees) is plagued by traumatic memories of the incident and repressed impulses in which love and death are inextricably linked. These impulses finally turn homicidal when her emotions are stirred, spelling doom for anyone who arouses her. Anna's case is handled by the repressed psychoanalyst, Dr. Pritchard (Eric Porter), whose growing physical attraction to the girl could result in far worse than a mere breach of professional ethics. Sasdy weaves the psychological elements through the story with finesse, paralleling the sexual tension between the doctor and his patient with the mounting horror of the inevitable outcome.

** It is VERY IMPORTANT that you please read the following if you are thinking of ordering. While every effort is made to have it on the way to you sooner, please allow up to 3 to 6 weeks from the time your order is PAID (not merely received) for processing (longer for very large and international orders) plus normal USPS shipping time, which appears to have gotten much worse the past year. Curious as to why 3 to 6 weeks instead of two days after you order? Here's why...99% of everything having to do with Hard to Find Films is handled solely by yours truly.
That includes, but is not limited to finding the films, checking the films once they arrive, handling and searching for rare film requests, taking orders, filling orders (which includes bulk orders for our store customers who we've been dealing with for years now), delivering orders (again, to our store customers), packing orders, shipping orders and handling email inquiries (which can be as many as 50-80 per day!). In other words, I am NOT sitting here languishing on a sofa, purposely not sending your order which sits beside me gathering cobwebs while I'm being fed fresh grapes from one of the many beauties in my personal harem (don't I wish ;). And please allow up to 48 hours or even more occassionally for me to get back to you when/if you email due to the large volume of emails I deal with each day. Also understand that sometimes I get the flu, or the computer breaks down or catches a "virus" or any of a number of "real-life" scenarios that can be the cause for me not getting back to you in YOUR time frame. Sending me 5 emails in a row over a 2-hour period and me not getting back to you on the 3rd hour is NOT me "not answering" your emails. Speaking of which, if you are sent an automated email after a purchase or happen to see an email address for us that ends in "verizon.net", that email address has been INVALID for a good couple of years, so please don't use it. But every time I think I've gotten rid of it, it mysteriously returns to confuse new customers. Some of those same automated emails also state a 3-4 week shipping time, which is also INVALID, but we cannot seem to correct that since it was originally written years ago?!
Note: I CANNOT do "rush" orders or OVERNIGHT EXPRESS, regardless of whether it's for that special someone's birthday, a dear friend who may be at death's door and for some reason must see this film immediately, your son or daughter's school presentation or project, to teach your class or for a visiting dignitary, so please don't ask.
And, in case you're worried that I'm going to "lose my steam" or even die on you before you get your order, let me assure you that I've been doing this almost singlehandedly since around the mid-90's and have filled literally thousands of orders and will continue to do so. I'm still relatively young, eat well (I'm primarily vegetarian, almost vegan), drink rarely, do not do drugs (including the "legal" over the counter variety) or smoke and have recently "upped my health ante" by giving up sugar in addition to the previous. PLEASE do NOT send me emails "checking on the status" of your order, UNLESS it's been more than 6 weeks. Rest assured that it's here, I'm working on it, you WILL get it, even if it mysteriously "disappears" in transit as happens occassionally.
So, in conclusion, if you are a buyer who purchases today and wants it yesterday, we are NOT the seller for you. If you are not prepared to wait the clearly and concisely stated shipping time of 3-6 weeks, we must insist that you do NOT order from us. However, if quality, getting the best-possible print of a really-rare film and dealing with a seller who knows these films is your main concern, we are the seller for you and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :)
