    I’m sorry but it’s my favorite Michael Caine movie. Yes, yes there’s a plethora of amazing movies, but this one is the one I fell in love with as a child and it’s stuck with me now. He’s stellar in it too.

      I still refuse to forgive the asshats at Disney for cutting the “When Love is Gone” scene from the DVD release.

        They found the original cut and added it back in a couple years back. You can find the full 4k release in the special features on Disney Plus

          I need to find an navally appropriated version. I have both, but the version with the restored song is a 4:3 VHS(?) transfer I think.

            No, they found the original reels for the missing track, so it has been remastered to 4k widescreen. The whole alternate version with the song is in the special features on Disney Plus

              Well shiver me timbers I didn’t expect it to be on the open seas so readily. May your grog be strong throughout the new year.

          If you’re not US-based you need a VPN though, for some reason the rest of the world isn’t allowed it.

        I’ve seen this film every year since it was on vhs. Last night I took my kids to see it at the cinema and it still holds up. “When Love is Gone” was back in it’s rightful place and having not seen it for a good few years it’s such a welcome return. The pacing is totally messed up by it’s removal.
