I was very fortunate in being able to view "Out on a Limb" whilst visiting Germany earlier this year, on a spiritual visit to see Mother Meera. I found the story absolutely amazing and it gives an insight into things we don't understand and which a lot of people refus to accept. You need an open mind to view this film.

This one must have slipped in under Disney's radar. It's genuinely touching and it portrays family, racial and environmental concerns in a way that is sensitive, funny and well scripted. The latter is first class, with drama, humour and pathos expertly interleaved. For once, a non-American (the Grand Council woman) is in the right and in authority. The Hawaian women are similarly against Disney heroine stereotype, having a small bust and big hips.
It is entirely to the script writer's credit that many of the quotes have slipped into our family vernacular e.g. "... disciplined ... five times a day ... with bricks ... in a pillow case ..." usually with a different family member delivering the various phrases just like something out of, heaven help us, Seinfeld or The Waltons.
Thoroughly recommended. I defy you - especially parents- to watch to the end without tears pricking your eyes.

What are you lot playing at?...You must all watch this film, not only do you have the historical sequence of the eruption of Pompeii (albeit on the cheap side,) but you have the rudeness, the smut, the sniggers,...every schoolboy in the world HAS TO WATCH THIS!

The most sophisticated spy in cinema returns for one of the best Bonds of the 70s as Roger Moore reprises the role as the British agent in Lewis Gilbert's action adventure.

007 travels to Egypt to find out who is behind the mysterious disappearing of submarines and he is helped by Russian agent Major Anya Amasova (Bach)

This is probably one of Moore's best performances as the secret agent as he delivers a lot of sophisticated lines and jokes into the role. His attitude towards the mission and the situations which arise are brilliant and his partnership alongside Bach is one of the best Bond partnerships ever made.

The plot is consistent and very interesting to see the relationship between the two agents grow and become tense and intriguing with twists all the way through.

As per usual for Bond films there is a healthy dollop of action sequences, none more memorable than the underwater car and the scene in Stromberg's water building.

The lighting and settings are used to great effect, especially having a lot of scenes take place in the middle of the sea, which makes it tense and open.

Richard Kiel makes his Bond film debut as Jaws, perhaps the best ever Bond Villain with his metal mouth a great semiotic of evil and danger.
This film has one of the best openings to a Bond film with a great ski chase and a patriotic moment following.

The film justifies the genre, its humorous, action packed, exciting and engaging throughout with good acting and is one of the best Bond films that have ever been made.

The classic movie
they swear like troopers in the first 5 minutes
not for small ears

after that its damn good classic stuff

WONDERFULL, I recently saw it on the big screen and even though I'd seen it many times before it is one of my favourite films, well into the Top 5. The only slight concern is that no way would the pretty Jean Simmons have turned into Valery Hobson. John Mills was very good but a little weedy compared to the excellent boy who played him as a young Pip. Finlay Currie was fantastic, so scary & even though he was a 'very naughty boy' we still like him, especially when he turns up on Pip's door one wet & windy night after his disappearing act , brurrr!
So if you buy the DvD you'll not be disappointed, if you are then you is without soul or heart, 'Dear Boy!'.

Spread over two discs with no extras and no space wasted, this is an outstanding DVD of an outstanding series, shown here as one long "movie" cut. The optional dubbed English audio track might offend the purists (me included), but bear in mind two things: one, the whole thing was dubbed anyway (in German), because the set was so noisy and two, the entire cast spoke English and dubbed themselves, so it's a LOT better than you might expect, should you find yourself using the English track as a means to get someone to see it! Hopefully it won't come to that...

I cannot for the life of me understand all the 5 star reviews. This film comprises a rediculously unbelieveable script populated with unbelieveable, 2-dimensional, cliched characters and executed with heavy, wooden performances. Is this what happens when artistic folk conspire to create "gritty" and "real" drama. The total running time of nearly two and a half hours makes this ham-fisted effort almost unwatchable
