Telstar: The Joe Meek Story

Telstar: The Joe Meek Story

2011-06-10 by tron400

Has anyone seen this movie? I had to order it from across the puddle because it isn't available in the U.S. I thought my all region DVD player would be able to play it, but no luck, so I watched it on my computer. Very well done, I think. Lots of vintage gear and the acting was superb. I highly recommend it.

I am happy to borrow it from you when you're done watching it.

Frank,

I will watch it one or 2 more times. But send me your address and I'll send it to you when I'm finished. Then it will be your turn to send it to someone else on the list who may be interested

note: the problem would be because it's got video encoded in PAL.
DVD regions have no direct correlation to the underlying video encoding [PAL or NTSC].
for example, region 2 encompasses Europe and Japan - Europe uses PAL video and Japan uses NTSC video.
some players will play anything thrown at them, others can play all regions but not an incompatible video format.
i'm lucky in that i've got multiple players that all happily display anything i put in the tray.

yes, i still lurk here,

if i can be added to the queue please do so.

Telstar: The Joe Meek Story
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1068669/
it has no current US distribution.
Bernie has purchased a PAL [probably Region 2] copy and has kindly offered to send it around via Post, so we are watching it and sending to the next person that has requested it.
