I first saw it on the old Studio Canal DVD release almost 10 years ago now, which I'm betting is a lot later than some people on here!

I would have loved to see it at the cinema on release, but alas, it was made 10 years before I was born!

The infamous shock ending was completely mind-blowing on the first watch, and I immediately had to go back and watch it all again, trying to pick up clues and information I may have missed tthe first time around.

The tense well-written plot and beautiful cinematography makes this a timeless classic in my eyes - roll on the Blu-Ray!

(And yeah, Christie and Pleasance were definitely into each other. )

I first saw it on video many many years ago.
I can't be sure,but I think it was Thorn Emi who released it.
I can be sure though,it was D E R it was rented from!

I never saw it again until I picked up the Warner Terror Vision tape-collectible in that it included three art/fact cards!

I have it on Studio Canal dvd,but I think the Optimum dvd trounced it pic-wise,so the BD will be most interesting.

The wintry Venice setting-superb!
How many later films did THAT have an influence on?
