There was the LA disaster epic Earthquake; pushing all boundaries came the cult classic National Lampoon's Animal House; there was the rip-roaring road trip Smokey and the Bandit; and crime caper The Sting starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

  In The Square Peg Norman Wisdom plays one of a pair of council workmen who, while repairing the road outside an army base, come to illustrate the oxymoronic nature of the phrase "military intelligence". Finding themselves drafted, the workmen are sent to repair the roads ahead of the Allied advance through war-torn Europe by the sergeant they previously embarrassed. Norman finds himself behind the German lines, joins up with French Resistance, gets captured then sets out to rescue British prisoners from a German military HQ by impersonating General Schreiber. Of course Wisdom plays Schreiber too. The Square Peg is the film that introduced Norman Wisdom's famous catch-phrase, "Mr. Grimsdale!". Also here Hattie Jacques gets to sing a remarkable duet with Wisdom, and a pre-Goldfinger Honor Blackman provides the love interest. Following his rising star was just what Norman Wisdom's audience had been doing all through the 1950s and, by 1959, and after six films with director John Paddy Carstairs, it was time for a change. Hence Robert Asher made his directorial debut with Follow a Star. The plot is a comedy version of A Star is Born (1954), with Norman yet again playing a dreaming shop worker, this time aspiring to singing stardom. Vernon Carew (played by Wisdom regular Jerry Desmonde) is the fading singer who schemes to use Wisdom's talent to sustain his own rapidly failing career, while the girl is overlooked starlette June Laverick. Norman is surrounded by a particularly strong supporting cast, with Hattie Jacques returning from The Square Peg (1958), Richard Wattis, John Le Mesurier, Fenella Fielding, Ron Moody and, uncredited, future Bond villain Charles Grey. --Gary S Dalkin

  Romance with A Double Bass is a truly delightful film and an important piece of film history. Based on a short story by Anton Chekhov this project was one of John Cleese's first post-Python projects. Romance With A Double Bass was the second writing collaboration for Cleese and Connie Booth and their first on screen appearance together before they created the classic Fawlty Towers. A bassist (Cleese) shows up early for the betrothal ball of a beautiful princess (Booth) and whiles away the time having a dip in the river. The princess is doing the same unbeknownst to the bass player but when someone steals their clothes the bass player helps the princess to preserve her dignity by transporting her back to the castle in his bass case; along the way they overcome many mishaps and discover they have feelings for each other. The film also starts a host of British talent including June Whitfield Graham Crowden Freddie Jones Jonathan Lynn and Andrew Sachs.

• Young And Innocent | DVD | (15/01/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Among Alfred Hitchcock's pre-Hollywood movies, 1938's Young and Innocent is a most unfairly overlooked classic. It's full of themes and stylistic touches that became permanent fixtures in his career. Based on Josephine Tey's novel A Shilling for Candles, the film title refers to the characters' outlook. However Hitchcock characteristically chips away at that innocence with flourishes of macabre humour, such as scenes of a dead rat at the lunch table and a hopeless conference with a defence lawyer, while suspense is heightened in a game of blindman's buff at a children 's party. The story concerns a typically Hitchcockian innocent man (Derrick de Marney) on the run, with a trivial object to find (a raincoat) that will prove his innocence. He's helped by a fiery young girl (Nova Pilbeam) who's unfortunately the daughter of the chief constable, but has some handy first aid skills. There's also an oppressive mother figure in the shape of an overbearing aunt (Mary Clare). Aside from these thematic traits, what remains impressive for viewers new or old is Hitchcock's technical set-pieces: a car sinks into a mineshaft, a railway station is recreated in miniature, and the twitchy-eyed murderer is finally located via an extended aerial tracking shot across a ballroom (pre-empting many similar shots, eg: Notorious). This sequence took two days to accomplish, and demonstrates the director was more than ready to move to the older and less innocent American industry . --Paul Tonks

• Elvis Presley - 68 Comeback Special (3-DVD Amaray Version) | DVD | (04/08/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £21.99

  When in June 1968 Elvis Presley made a television special to be aired in December of the same year he accomplished two things. He saved his career and he made the best music of his life. Wearing a black leather suit as if he were born in it - Elvis sang his old songs but they did not sound old. He invested them with so much emotion that suddenly these were less songs than events-where anything could happen where everything did. The 3 discs that make up this Deluxe Edition are a treasure chest of that moment: the special itself as it aired on December 3 1968; the two complete Sit Down shows the rough improvised altogether explosive attacks on the likes of One Night Lawdy Miss Clawdy and Blue Christmas with the audience so close Elvis could touch the people in it and did; the two Arena Shows Elvis appearing on his own again before audiences with a big band and chorus off stage; and three-and-a-half hours of bonus material alternate stagings of the skits and dramatized musical numbers from the show-some of them a lot hotter than anything that made it to the screen. The most comprehensive presentation of the footage of this historic event all with meticulously remastered sound and picture more than half of its seven hours of content previously unreleased. Disc 1: Available for the first time the original Elvis television special as it first aired on NBC on December 3 1968. Available in their absolute entirety for the first time both of the black leather sit-down shows - Elvis clad in black leather performing jam sessions with original band-mates Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana and friends Discs 2: Available in their absolute entirety for the first time both of the black leather stand-up shows - Elvis clad in black leather performing solo on stage. Available for the first time everything in its complete raw form used and unused takes: Trouble/Guitar Man opening of the special Gospel production number Guitar Man production number If I Can Dream show closer Elvis scene shot for the closing credits roll without the credits roll The complete taping session for Elvis's on-camera huh-huh-huh promotional tag for the television special The exciting new If I Can Dream music video created for this DVD set combining white-suit finale w/ black-leather performance footage Disc 3: All components/takes shot for the gospel production number and the Guitar Man production number

• What's Up Tiger Lily | DVD | (05/02/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  What better way for writer-star Woody Allen to cash in on the success of What's New Pussycat? than to write a quickie exploitation comedy that makes fun of quickie exploitation films? In What's Up Tiger Lily? his actors dub new dialogue onto a ridiculous Japanese spy extravaganza. Allen's exquisite sense of the absurd is in fine form as espionage professionals pursue a top-secret recipe for egg salad. At one point during the planning of a break-in, a spy unfolds a map of their quarry's residence, explaining that the man "lives here". "He lives on that small piece of paper?" questions one of the henchmen. It's that silly. But it's often uproarious. Louise Lasser, Allen's former wife is among the voice actors. --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com
