Just a terrific series, with a wonderfully world-weary, charismatic lead performance from Richard Bradford, who should have been a much bigger star. <br /><br />I need to get that Preston Sturges collection one of these days...

The only one missing is the Preston Sturges collection and I do think it is a shame that "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" is not included in the selection. I especially appreciate your endorsement of "The Forsyte Saga" with the most excellent Eric Porter. Well done!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-37182082111276390672012-11-24T23:40:09.955-05:002012-11-24T23:40:09.955-05:00Page, MAN IN A SUITCASE is a forgotten treasure.

My mom loves her Charlie Chan and she just turned me on to the new show Copper which aired on BBC. What a great series that is. I think you would enjoy it. I've also watched the first two seasons of the UK show "Sherlock" which was great too. <br /><br />I hope you had a nice holiday with your family.<br />All the best!<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-37763977449287749142012-11-24T10:41:40.903-05:002012-11-24T10:41:40.903-05:00I've had my eye on the Preston Sturges collect...I've had my eye on the Preston Sturges collection for a while...would love to find it under the tree this year.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-35464903923687948022012-11-23T14:57:20.908-05:002012-11-23T14:57:20.908-05:00SIGH - if only I could win the lotto!

My Christmas present to myself. I already own the Season 1 of Hitchcock presents, A STEAL at the price you list here. AND I want all the others - although I'm not familiar with Man In a Suitcase at all, I know it must be worth it if you recommend it. Great list!<br /><br />AuroraCitizen Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596338896095275116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-18328538020051811172012-11-22T20:26:32.163-05:002012-11-22T20:26:32.163-05:00I'll take The Forsyte Saga off your hands, and...I'll take The Forsyte Saga off your hands, and sneak Man in a Suitcase into my big purse.
