And I had seen a ravishing portrait of her in one of the Film magazines at the time. I also just happened to have recently read the Rider haggard books and become fascinated. I became obsessed with Ursula and drew a pretty good portrait hat won a prize.

They also put out CRESCENDO On Demand I believe, which is a more appropriate title for this method of distribution - obscure in other words. <br /><br />I haven't seen the 1983 version, but I read a little about it during my Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-20384982391429195872011-04-04T18:13:24.733+01:002011-04-04T18:13:24.733+01:00I've yet to see this version from start to fin...I've yet to see this version from start to finish. A lot of Hammer fans over here were shocked that instead of it getting a respectable DVD release, it instead came out on as part of Warner's On Demand DVD-R service with a less than stellar print.<br /><br />The loosely based (and that's an understatement) 1983 version also called SHE is a riot, Shaun.

But in general I agree about the poverty of quality, or even interesting, genre films.
