A Christie Film Collection

Does anyone have any further details about this partwork? I subscribed and received issues 3 & 4 months ago and nothing since! I understand it was postponed but is it actually coming back? Hope so. s

Calling all UK subscribers! And I have been meaning to post this for months... Just for information:

The Agatha Christie Film Collection boxset released in America (WB TV shows: Murder Is Easy; A Caribbean Mystery; Sparkling Cyanide; Murder With Mirrors; Thirteen At Dinner; Dead Man's Folly; Murder In Three Acts; The Man In The Brown Suit) is marked up as Region 1 - the slipcase, the covers, the discs, everything. Picture quality is uniformly good across the set - no extras but they do include subtitles, something the partwork sometimes omitted.

However, my Blu-Ray player refuses to play anything that isn't Region B, 2 or 0. It plays these American discs no problem, so anyone missing out on the eighties adaptations because they don't think they'll play need not worry - my PC drive confirms them as Region 0.

Often Warner Bros. will mark discs as Region 1, but in the instance where they own the worldwide rights, the releases are encoded as Region 0. It is the same with the Rutherford Marple boxset in America (all in widescreen) - marked as Region 1 but plays no problem in the UK. Just bear in mind that the releases are all NTSC rather than PAL.

In the case of the eight-disc box (worth buying because it includes "Sparkling Cyanide" and "...Brown Suit" as exclusives), you will almost certainly be hit with tax (which includes a tax on the postage costs) and the Royal Mail's handling fee currently stands at £8 on top. However, if you go for the cheapest supplier, it will work out at roughly £55-£60 altogether (inc. tax), approximately what the eight films would cost had they been released in the UK magazine partwork collection.

Penyffordd, I never received a reply from the partwork company (to date). I ordered quite a few DVDs from America separately in the DeepDiscount 25% sale because they were below the VAT threshold - they were posted in one bundle and I was hit with about thirty quid in taxes! I'm afflicted with the curse of buying Christie on DVD...

johnwaynefreak - I have my eye on my bank account.

I rang the people who distributed "Film Collection".  This issue has come out early due to the collection ending early.  So when £7.99 comes out of my account then cancel the direct debit.

Also, I asked WHY had it ended?  The reply was and I quote"Eaglemoss had for weeks been trying to obtain the licence for future releases, but was unsuccessful.  Some said no and others were too expensive.  We were just as surprised as you were.  It was due to go to 60, and last year, indications were that it might go to 70.  We were just as disaapointed as you are, it was a bolt out of the blue"

Now if they are not going to go Poirots "Clocks".  Would it not be interesting to see whether the Poirot Collection will get clocks.  I know that previous subscribers got letters saying 4 new dvds, and some have just got 2 new ones, so will they get The Clocks"

To me, it was an absolute disgrace this collection.  We were promised extra dvds when available, promised certain films, even had a list at the beginning showing what they plan to release.  All it turned into was a combined Marple and Poirot.  With the Poirot magazine, cribbed word for word from the Poirot Collection magazines!

The only good thing for me was Partners in Crime, which the dvd for series is discontinued.

What about you johnwaynefreak how do you feel about this collection?

so issue 54 is the last one :( no Helen Hayes or more Peter Ustinovs.

I haven't been informed by the partwork so would have been nice to have been told by them. I haven't been sent issue 54 but already have Death on the Nile in the Complete Poirot collection.

Such a shame

penyffordd 07 Jun 11 at 6:31 p.m. GMT

johnwaynefreak let me know how you got on with your registered letter and if you get any response.  Very much interested to know.  Also would a letter to Christies Trustees about this collection be worthwhile.  They were the ones awarding the licence.

Also, johnwaynefreak, I heard from a 'source' that the subscriptions were down.  They wanted the subscriptions like the Poirot collection, but unfortunately for them, this release came smack, bang in the recession.  With the squeeze on peoples purses in 2010, subscriptions were down.  Also the VAT rise which didn't help them either (yes I know excuses, excuses)  Also they had to send out duplicates for December 2010/January 2011, when we had bad weather, parcels were stocking up at Royal Mail and at couriers.  Half the dvds sent out in the post went walkies.

I didn't know they did a test run on this collection.  I personally did not see one, but I presume I am at the wrong end of the UK.

Still would be interested to see if Clocks gets produced for the Poirot Collection??

johnwaynefreak 06 Jun 11 at 3:23 p.m. GMT

I'm very disappointed to say the least - my complaint is being sent registered mail. Amazing how the Italians manage to produce a comprehensive partwork (indeed, in some cases including the only DVD release in the world of some titles and including Italian and English audio and subtitles) yet Christie is completely shafted in her own country. I don't believe that about rights issues (if so, why not include Optimum's "Ordeal By Innocence" and "And Then There Were None" DVDs, along with ITV's "The Clocks"?) It's all about maximum profit with minimum effort and milking the subscribers - I'm sure that, although it was promised from the beginning, if Fremantle hadn't put out their "Agatha Christie Hour" discs, they would never have been included in the partwork. I'm not waiting any longer and am filling the gaps like "Spider's Web" in with bootleg discs - I can do it with a clear conscience, knowing that if they are officially released, I will of course buy them and junk the copies. I might even have a go at mocking up some covers for the bootlegs, continuing from Issue 54 on the spines... I remember when the first five test issues were released - they included the Joan Hickson "Body In The Library" and I can't help but feel the partwork would have been much better for having included a few of her films - certainly as far as "Nemesis" and "4.50 From Paddington" go. Originally, the Pauline Collins "Sparkling Cyanide" was scheduled to be issue 6 in the test run and, while it is pretty poor, it would have been an extra episode for this series (presumably it wasn't included as the official disc is now OOP). Interestingly, I was comparing the Angela Lansbury magazine from the test run with the one that was officially later released, and while the gist of the text is the same, is has been shortened / dumbed down in places. Yes, on the whole I'm very disappointed.

johnwaynefreak 03 Jun 11 at 9:31 a.m. GMT

It turns out "Death On The Nile" is in fact the last issue, bringing the curtain down on one of the biggest let-downs associated with the Christie brand (where the hell is "The Clocks"?).

Penyffordd, be extra careful to ensure your direct debits are stopped - partwork companies can be absolute swine to deal with direct. I subscribed through the WHSmith instore order system to be on the safe side.

penyffordd 22 May 11 at 7:08 p.m. GMT

Hate to tell you this, but there are only going to be 60 parts to the Agatha Christie Film Collection.  I emailed them at the end of April, and only now got a reply!!

"Thank you for your email to Agatha Christie DVD Collection.There are currently only 60 planned issues in this collection, if there aregoing to be more we will let you know."

63 Ordeal by Innonence is a no no I am afraid.

Also, I thought there would be no more than 60.  When I subsribed way back in 2009, I had an email, stating the dates of when the direct debits would be going out the the number of the issue.  Back in 2009, it only went up to 60 and finishes for me in August 2011.

penyffordd 07 May 11 at 5:41 p.m. GMT

Had my latest editions today for the collection:-

53 - The Blue Geranium - Julia McKenize

54 - Death on the Nile - David Suchet

penyffordd 19 Apr 11 at 2:21 p.m. GMT

Update:-

Issue 50 - Pale Horse (Marple version)

Issue 51 - The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side - Julia McKenize version

Issue 52 - The Secret of Chimneys - again Julia McKenize version.

Does anyone remember, when they signed up for this collection, there would be "special editions and more"?

Anyone have any ideas what they would be?!?!?

I am awaiting issue 52, and have had no special editions and more, with my collection, anyone else?

johnwaynefreak 10 Mar 11 at 9:54 p.m. GMT

Whoops, slipped after no. 43 and went an issue ahead of myself on the above post...

MissQuin 09 Dec 10 at 3:53 p.m. GMT

A fellow Partners In Crime fan! I really enjoy the seires- it's light hearted, rather frivilous fun but pure escapism. Francesca Annis is an excellent actress and it's a huge difference seeing her as Tuppence after seeing her in Cranford! The chemisrty is just right between her and tommy. I just love the costumes.

Magnolia Blossom Ive also seen and I thought it was very good. The acting was top notch although it might not please murder mystery fans as it deals with people rather than crime.

johnwaynefreak 09 Dec 10 at 3:38 p.m. GMT

Issue 42 is "Magnolia Blossom / The Case Of The Discontented Soldier".

I recently emailed the partwork to ask if they had an amended list and, after about a month, they rather amusingly emailed me the list as quoted back at the end of April on this thread, with all of the errors and duplications still in place. I emailed them back pointing out that we have already received several forthcoming issues - I look forward to receiving a reply in either January or February!

I have to say I am really enjoying re-viewing the "Partners In Crime" and "The Agatha Christie Hour" episodes, although I've never been keen on Francesca Annis. I never used to be a fan of videotaped episodes (much preferred filmed ones) but these are so polished, the big budgets really show on the screen.

And at last we have got all of the McEwan issues out of the way. Hooray!

Rudolph62 05 Dec 10 at 10:25 p.m. GMT

Hi Kirstin Kay, Issue 36 is The Case of The Middle-Aged Wife & In A Glass Darkly.

The Issues afterwards are as follows:

Issue 37 Towards Zero, Issue 38 Finessing The King & The Clergyman's Daughter, Issue 39 The Girl In The Train & The Fourth Man, Issue 40 Nemesis, Issue 41 The Sunningdale Mystery & The Ambassador's Boots. 

Hope this is helpful to you

kirstin_kay 12 Nov 10 at 3:31 p.m. GMT

Does anyone know the running order of the partworks? according to the website issue 36 is 'the case of the middle-aged wife' & 'in a glass darkly' but when I rang up to enquire about back issues I was told that these titles are in fact issue 41. I am rather confused!

johnwaynefreak 28 Aug 10 at 5:54 p.m. GMT

Issues 34 and 35 have turned out to be the McEwan "Ordeal By Innocence" and Suchet "Sad Cypress" respectively, despite both Suchet's "Appointment With Death" and the McKenzie "Evans?" being included in the partwork before the UK transmissions.

Issue 33, "The Seven Dials Mystery", had the ad-break bumpers removed - not too problematic, although the ticking of the clock that signalled the end / beginning of parts can still be heard over one or two snippets. Ad-breaks are present and correct on the Acorn Media / Network DVD release.

johnwaynefreak 06 Jun 10 at 11:13 a.m. GMT

Ms_Kylie_Menage, Issue 11 was the Ustinov "Death On The Nile", not the Suchet one.

And aren't MGM in trouble at the moment? This could explain why Ustinov's "Appointment With Death" and the Billy Wilder "Witness For The Prosecution" aren't being licensed for inclusion - MGM released these in Region 2, although WFTP was only in a Wilder boxset in the U.K.

As five titles released have been Optimum releases (Orient Express, Mirror Crack'd, Death On The Nile, Evil Under The Sun and the Ten Little Indians discs - or is it six with Endless Night?), I would expect their disc of the Donald Sutherland "Ordeal By Innocence" to be included at some point, although that was sublicensed from MGM. Similarly, Issue 63 is most likely Optimum's "And Then There Were None" (1974) which has an on-screen title of "Ten Little Indians".

Acorn Media have done the standalone release of "Seven Dials Mystery" (Issue 33) - although I'm sure I remember my disc having a Network logo at the start. Partworks such as deAgostini's John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Classic War Movie collections have included documentaries as special unnumbered issues, so perhaps the Acorn documentary discs "Agatha Christie: A Life In Pictures" and "Agatha Christie's Garden: Murder & Mystery In Devon" could be included.

The Agatha Christie signature that ran along the spines of the collection finished at no. 26, and 27 and 28 repeat this motif right down to using the Albert Finney photo at the start. We will need 78 issues to keep things pretty!

I think perhaps I look too deeply into this DVD collection  but as I recently reread the Christie canon in chronological order, I need to get my fortnightly fix somehow!

Ms_Kylie_Menage 06 Jun 10 at 8:40 a.m. GMT

Hmmm...the list they sent you is very interesting! For a start, they seem to be including the four new Poirots and for new Miss Marples. None of these were in the advertised list. I don't believe the Suchet version of Death On The Nile was included originally either.

Then of course there is the obvious error re The Agatha Christie Hour and Partners in Crime. What can issues 55, 56, 58, 60 and 61 be? Obviously not those as every episode of those two series would have already been issued by then, according to their list.

The ones previously advertised as "hoping" to be included, that now seem they will not be are -

Ustinov's Death On The Nile and Appointment With Death.

Molina's Murder On The Orient Express (no loss by all accounts).

Three Rutherford Miss Marples (why only Murder Ahoy, not even based on an Agatha Christie? With the characterisation being nothing like Miss Marple from the books there is no link here to Agatha Christie at all!)

The fairly recent TV films of The Pale Horse and Sparkling Cyanide.

Black Coffee and Lord Edgware Dies from the 1930s.

Three versions of And Then There Were None/Ten Little Indians! (1945, 1959 and 1974 missing, assuming it's the 1965 one included.)

Vintage TV - A Murder Is Announced and They Came To Baghdad.

The Last Seance.

Ordeal By Innocence (80s film - nevermind, it's terrible.)

Both versions of Witness For The Prosecution!

I was really hoping they'd include Alibi from the 1930s, and the German silent film of The Secret Adversary, and either of both versions of Spider's Web. Who knows? Maybe some of them are issue 55, 56, 58, 60 or 61?!

johnwaynefreak 02 May 10 at 3:21 p.m. GMT

That leaves issues 55, 56, 58, 60 and 61 redundant as all of "The Agatha Christie Hour" and "Partners In Crime" are covered in other DVD volumes. Also, according to that list issue 63 is a duplicate of issue 19 (Ten Little Indians).

What a lack of rarities, HarryG! The omission of either version of "Witness To The Prosecution" leaves me dumbfounded - I've half a mind to cancel as ALL of these with the ONE EXCEPTION of the Alphabet Murders (possibly the worst adaptation of Christie ever), have all been either released / inevitably will be released (for complete Poirot / Marple) / have been announced. Inevitably, the partwork will still be going by the time the final Suchets have been filmed, so I expect to see "Elephants Can Remember", etc.

It doesn't surprise me to see no mention of the Austin Trevor rarities, although it would have been nice to get a copy of the silent version of "The Secret Adversary", "Die Abenteuer GmbH", which as I have mentioned previously was included in an Italian Agatha Christie partwork, with Italian subtitles created for the occasion - once again, the UK gets short shrift.

Very annoying when one considers the individual instore releases of the 70 partwork inclusions could, I estimate, be picked up for roughly a quarter of the price. For example, the 5 issues of "Agatha Christie Hour" = £39.95. The same boxset can be preordered online for £18. Similarly, the Suchet episodes in the partwork have so far cost (7 x £7.99 + 1 x £5.99)  £61.92, while the complete boxset so far, regularly drops to £60 in the sales.

HarryG 30 Apr 10 at 1:40 p.m. GMT

HarryG 30 Apr 10 at 1:40 p.m. GMT

Got so frustrated by the lack of rarities that I requested a list - here it is (in two parts, reply was too long):

1 Murder on the Orient Express   2 Murder at the Vicarage   3 Mrs McGinty's Dead   4 Moving Finger   5 Cat Among the Pigeons   6 The Mirror Crack'd   7 The Third Girl   8 Body in the Library   9 Appointment with Death   10 Murder is Announced   11 Death on the Nile   12 Mystery of the Blue Train   13 Sleeping Murder   14 Why Didn't They Ask Evans   15 Cards on the Table   16 A Pocketful of Rye   17 Evil Under the Sun   18 By the Pricking of My Thumbs   19 Ten Little Indians   20 Murder is Easy   21 After the Funeral   22 Sittaford Mystery   23 The Secret Adversary (120 mins)   24 They Do It With Mirrors   25 Taken at the Flood   26 Endless Night   27 4.50 from Paddington   28 5 Little Pigs   29 Why Didn't They Ask Evans   30 The Affair of the Pink Pearl & The House of Lurking Death   31 The Hollow   32 At Bertram's Hotel   33 The Seven Dials Mystery (131 mins)   34 Three Act Tragedy   35 Secret of Chimneys  

johnwaynefreak 09 Apr 10 at 9:42 p.m. GMT

Issue 24 - They Do It With Mirrors (McKenzie)*

Issue 25 - Taken At The Flood (Suchet)

*As this one has the young offender element used in "Murder "Ahoy", I presume we are left with only "Murder, She Said" for possible inclusion.

johnwaynefreak 11 Mar 10 at 10:12 p.m. GMT

Issue 22 - The Sittaford Mystery (McEwan) - boo!

Issue 23  - The Secret Adversary (Warwick / Annis) - hooray!

robbied84 20 Feb 10 at 3:47 p.m. GMT

Oh that's a shame! Another recent one. Like you I'm looking forward to the old movies and rare TV series... the reason I originally subscribed. Hopefully they will come out soon as I'm sure they're running out of the more recent stuff I'd also hope that all the Rutherfords would be released regardless of whether another episode has been released under the same title. Would be nice if they updated their list or gave subscribers a general idea of what's to come and when.

johnwaynefreak 19 Feb 10 at 7:56 p.m. GMT

Hi robbied84, issue 21 will be "After The Funeral" - I would much rather get some of the rarities that were promised, or even the TV series "Agatha Christie Hour" - I never bought the "Partners In Crime" boxset when that was availble, either.

Back to "After The Funeral", with "Mrs. McGinty's Dead" having been issue 3, I wonder whether they will include a Margaret Rutherford film after all - there's only "Murder Ahoy" (not original Christie) or "Murder, She Said" to choose from - and I would think the McEwan "4.50 From Paddington" would be included over the latter.

robbied84 19 Feb 10 at 5:12 p.m. GMT

Glad to hear it's the new version of the DVD! I resubscribed three weeks ago but have heard nothing, not even a confirmation letter, so have just emailed. :)  Hope you can get a replacement magazine JWF. Do you have any idea what issue 21 is yet ? :D

johnwaynefreak 31 Jan 10 at 7:51 p.m. GMT

I have collected Issue 19 from WHS now - the cellophane wrap was fine but the magazine has a great big scorch mark along the spine, leaving a singed hole right the way through all of the pages.

"Ten Little Indians" is indeed an Optimum DVD (presumably an exact replica of what will eventually be released in the shops) - scene selection only, no trailer unlike their recent "And Then There Were None [1974]"

The print isn't bad, looks like a TV print to me but for the fact the 'Whodunit' Break is included. Don't remember seeing that on TV ever, not even the print TNT (or was it Bravo?) used to show in the early / mid nineties.

Issue 20 is announced as "Murder Is Easy", the recent McKenzie adaptation.

robbied84 25 Jan 10 at 6:39 p.m. GMT

Thanks for your reply! I was asking as I had to cancel my sub at issue 13 due to being unable to afford it at the time - and wondered what I had missed! It seems that, apart from Why Didn't they Ask Evans - not much! (I own or have seen the others). Yes hopefully the Ten Little Indians film is the new transfer - which I was going to buy, but may just subscribe from that issue instead. Thanks again for your reply :)

johnwaynefreak 24 Jan 10 at 6:50 p.m. GMT

Hope this helps! The Film Collection website also has a back issues sections that may prove useful if you want to periodically check what has come out: http://www.agathachristiefilms.com/shop.asp?issue=ACISSUE16

Issue 13:   Sleeping Murder (McEwan version)

Issue 14:   Why Didn't They Ask Evans? (The LWT version with Warwick / Annis - never previously released on DVD in the U.K.)

Issue 15:   Cards On The Table (Suchet)

Issue 16:   A Pocket Full Of Rye (recent McKenzie ITV version)

Issue 17:   Evil Under The Sun (Ustinov version)

Issue 18:   By The Pricking Of My Thumbs (McEwan version)

Issue 19 (coming soon - 28th Jan.) is the 1965 "Ten Little Indians" - I really hope this is a port of an Optimum Entertainment print as submitted to the BBFC recently and not the manky release put out by Orbit Media / Black Horse Entertainment.

robbied84 21 Jan 10 at 5:21 p.m. GMT

Could anyone tell me the Film Collection titles from issue 13 to date? Thanks!

robbied84 14 Jan 09 at 11:20 a.m. GMT

That's a shame, I do hope it will come back one day. The other day I received four issues of the magazine in the post "with compliments" from the publishers which was a lovely surprise - and just makes me miss it more haha.

Moderator1 05 Jan 09 at 3:35 p.m. GMT

Sorry to say that Chroion has no plans just at the moment to continue with the partwork. I really do hope it hasn's gone for good and if things change there will be something on the website to that effect. I hope you are not too disappointed.

robbied84 03 Jan 09 at 9:18 a.m. GMT

Thanks for your reply Moderator. I re-subscribed in October but the partwork stalled again before I received anything! Do you have any idea whether it will be back or is it gone for good?

Moderator1 09 Oct 08 at 6:56 a.m. GMT

You subscribed to the test section of the partwork release which is why you haven't had anything more since issues 3&4. At the moment I don't have a start date for the full partwork but as soon as it is decided details will be on the website.
