Over and out
Sadly, this blog is now discontinued. However, all entries will remain online, including the list of every title reviewed in Monthly Film Bulletin, 1934-1991. I hope it continues to be useful.
Unless there are objections, I may remove all entries except for the MFB listings, which was always the primary focus of the blog since I started it in 2014.

Note:
Be
aware that scope or 3-D movies may not always be replicated that way
on home video. Similarly, some video releases may offer a different
audio configuration to the one originally intended (5.1, Dolby Atmos,
etc.). In each case, the Index provides details of the primary
audio-visual specifications, and any video version which deviates
from these specs constitutes a revision of the original intentions,
potentially compromising the effectiveness of the presentation.
Also, the given running time assumes a projected frame-rate of 24 frames per second (except for TV material in countries where the broadcast frame-rate is 25fps). Most VHS and DVD releases in the UK are replicated at 25fps, causing a subliminal speed-up that 'reduces' the running time by around 4 per cent. Most Blu-ray releases (including 4K) are replicated at the original 24fps.
