Is this still on the release schedule? I'm sure I read somewhere it had dropped off Optimum's lists.

[Companero]

It's definitely off the schedule now, with no new date in sight at present.

You may also want to know that GOMORRA is a 2 disc set and will also be available on Blu-ray.

[MarcMorris]

It's been classified by the BBFC so I'm sure it's on the way... perhaps in an Agatha Christie collection?

BBFC: And Then There Were None (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/0/A980F983B3822566802571ED005007F9?OpenDocument)

[Companero]

Who knows - it's been on and off the Optimum schedule a few times as a stand-alone release, mate.

[WillHay]

Yes, a Will Hay film!!!!!!

[abs1nth3]

Any news regarding the Peter Collinson film?

[Tim Rogerson]

I've seen it (film not the DVD release) and its dreadful. Seems to be filmed entirely in long shots through a slightly distorted lens.

[Mojo]

If it's anything like Straight On Til Morning, I'd rather watch paint dry.

Found this comment on Amazon:

"I have been in touch with Optimum Entertainment by e-mail to ask why there was a delay in the release of the DVD. I have been told that they had planned to put the film out but that the master needs restoring and that the information must not have filtered through to Amazon. They said there was no guarantee but hoped it would be available in the future. What a shame!"
