I saw this on channel 4 one night in 1993, I remember because i had just started dating my husband! except he wasn't then.

we watched it together and right from the start we pressed record and had it on VHS for absolutely years......sadly it got thrown out with all the other VHS's and we really regret it.It was in 3 parts. it was called "About last night" on channel 4 but its called "Nights" officially. In my opinion this is a very timeless piece and very entertaining and is true today as it was then.Its about a neurotic girl who is going thru the motions of a new relationship.It is told in claymation and real actors. In fact if this was shown on telly to this generation today nothing would be a miss. i wish they would release this again! the makers also made crapstone villas i believe.

This Film has such a Following! yet you cant buy it on DVD!

The Journey, is so engaging, that I can watch it again and again. The Russian Folk Songs, Fantastic! and Yul singing!

The Gypsy music, the intrigue.

The shear magnetism of the Magnificent YUL who comes across with an array of emotions.Powerful, proud, vulnerable against the gracious, serene Deborah Kerr. This film is even on view on youtube, its that potent. I just wish some one could tell me the name of those Russian folk songs! Especially the drinking ones.And I wish there was a recording of Yul singing them..(but thats asking a bit too much isn't it!)

So I emailed TCM Turner Movies on tcmmailuk@turner.com and asked them why they hadnt released it on DVD, Im awaiting an answer. They are mad, because lots of us would love a copy for a present wouldn't we?

Cheers.

I saw "Queen Elizabeth's Magician", along with "The Wickedest man in the World" both of these excellent documentaries came on channel 4, UK, as a double bill, and I must say, I was spooked! Queen Elizabeth's Magician was about the life of John Dee, a mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occultist, and consultant to Queen Elizabeth the first.It tells you about his life, and how he comunicated with the spirit world, life of science and magic. i found it very interesting and very fascinating, but I was scared after wards! i must say, the same thing about the other documentary called "Wickedest man in the world" because that was about Aleister Crowley , equally creepy! they were made by the same production company Diverse productions. If they ever come on I dare u to watch any of them alone!

Hello, I wish I could understand German,or Czech, because this is a fantastic Film which I saw in 1974, and is now available on WWW.AMAZON.DE

That is the German Amazon. And also with WWW.YOPI.DE Its called "Die Kleine Meerjung Frau" it was directed by Karel Kachyna, and It is the best little mermaid film! I recently viewed you tube and someone claimed to have a clip of Mala Morska Vila but it was the Russian film , and although good its nothing compared to this Great Czech version, and its 2 great stars the Safrankova sisters Miroslava and Libuse Safrankova. excellent and timelessly haunting.

If anyone has a copy in English or subtitled in English please please email me at

If Im correct this was a made for TV, a one off, and If it is the same one, I was fortunate to see it on CHANNEL 4, here in the U.K. about 15 years ago.

It was one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen on TV, 'scary " these days in films means Gore Fest, and sickness....it is so boring and predictable to watch a "scary movie" nowadays.

Schalken the Painter was very spooky, a psychological horror that crept and made you jump, it made me very uncomfortable i didn't want to leave the room alone.

I am so annoyed that quality stuff like this is not released on to DVD for us to buy! so if anyone knows of a release please let us know all know. thankyou.
