3.0 out of 5 stars Three from Lee, December 8, 2007

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

ST. CLAIR's "signature" series each consist of three public domain films (on a single DVD) that are good, but not necessarily the featured artist's best work.

CONTENTS:

THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA-- Another entry in the Lee/Cushing Hammer Films vampire series. The twist here is our Victorian era vampire now stalks London's streets in the 1970s. Look for Joanna Lumley (of THE AVENGERS and ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!) as Jessica Van Helsing.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE DEADLY NECKLACE-- Holmes and Watson try to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Cleopatra's necklace. With the luscious Senta Berger in support.

MURDER STORY-- A hopeful author who's also a fan of novelist Lee enlists the author's help in searching newspapers for story ideas. What they find may lead to the young man's downfall.

To see one of the original Sherlock Holmes portrayers in action, check out the BASIL RATHBONE SIGNATURE COLLECTION, also from St. Clair.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware- This is a Bootleg, September 5, 2007

By	Elric - See all my reviews

This is not supported by Christopher Lee in any way and his signature is being used without his permission The company releasing this is a well known bootlegger.

Quality is likely to be quite poor on this, as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars I agree, March 20, 2008

By	M. Sandoval - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree The Forbidden Planet and Five Million Years to Earth (AKA Quatermass and the Pit) are very good. It's been a long time since I've seen them, but they are both very clear in my mind.
There is one thing...as a child I went with my parents to see the movie "The Blob" with a young Steve McQueen. Not the best movie in the world, if you see it today. BUT, the thing is, it all starts with a falling star. Can you imagine how I, and my sister and brother, felt when we came out of the theater and saw a falling star not more than five minutes later! Freaked the hell out of us then, and still makes me a little uneasy even today. I have to admit, I think my parents were sorry they took us to the movie that night. We, three, did not want to go to sleep that night!
