The cff bumber triple box 4 from the British dvd label"bfi" was recently launched a second time. At the German Amazon there was no announcementabout it, the second edition should actually come.It's worth subscribing to the "bfi newsletter", which is the only place I've received and disseminated the news with a reprint. Ambush at Devil's Gap" (Das unheimliche Schloss, 1966) (very screpy) no DVDs. Geheimsache fünf (Five Clues to Fortune) GB, 1957 , dvd.
