"One picture is worth a thousand words!" or
""I saw" is ten times better then "I heard"!"
(The people's wisdom)
There is the only way for you to discover, what and how was done
by Timothy Dalton in films, TV and partially on stage - to find video in a good quality, to
read the same book, if it was, to study the experience of those, who played the part before
and after Timothy. We hope, our reviews from the chapter
"Films and TV" will help you to decide, where to begin, but the text below will give you. a cue
how to get the needed materials with the least possible trouble.
Licensed videos (PAL-format) in Russian language for those, who live in Russia and abroad.
The main problem of the Russian Timothy Dalton's admirer is to
find his films on video with a good quality of image, sound and translation. Usually all the
licensed films fulfil the conditions above. Lately, thankfully, we can watch some progress in
this field. Today you can find about a ten and a half of Dalton's movies and TV-films! From
our point of view, it's preferable to buy these videos in the internet-shop "OZON", because it
provides high quality and fast delivery of ordered goods and whee prices are even lower, than
on the legendary Gorbushka!
In Russia credit cards aren't practically in use as a
circulating medium. That's why buying goods in the internet-shops accopmpanies with a quite
continuous procedure of registration and order. However this system works. And anyway it's
better to waste 15 minutes for ordering there, than lose some hours for real shopping.
Thus, ordering videotapes in Ozon, you can use the next methods
to pay and get the goods you have chosen:
1) If you live in Moscow or in St. Petersburg, the best means to
buy videos is the courier's delivery and prompt cash. You can use not only the phone number and
post address of your apartment for getting goods, but these ones of your office (if it's more
convenient for you). By the way, Ozon accomodates only private persons.
2) The only way to get ordered good in the other towns of Russian
Federation is the post service. You can use the one of the four methods to pay (cash on delivery,
postal money order or mail transfer, telegraphic transfer, bank transfer). As for us, we suppose,
that the most reliable and convenient way to get the order is the last variant to pay in
Sberbank. Certainly, if you have a credit card VISA, EuroCard/MasterCard, JCB, Diners Club, your
order will pass faster. The mail and telegraphic transfers cost more and they are less
reliable. The cash on delivery is the most expensive payment's method, though obviously it's
psychologically much more pleasant to give money, if your videotape is already in your arms.
3) If you live abroad and need the film with Russian translation
(or a movie in Russian Language), the payment should be done by credit card only (VISA,
EuroCard/MasterCard, JCB, Diners Club). Ozon cooperates with the International courier service
- "DHL" and "Westpost", the Post service of Finland and Service "Post International" to
organize the delivery of goods. DHL and Westpost are more expensive, but the time of waiting in
this case is no longer, than 2-4 days instead of 10-14 days for the other services. To order
something in OZON you should have the cyrillic fonts in your browser, otherwise it will be
impossible for you to read the questions of Ozon during the ordering.
4) Timothy Dalton's admirers, who speak English and live out of
Russia can use such a super-Internet-shop as Amazon.com. We give
a link to it's Web site here..
Unfortunately, for those Russians, who is quite at home in
English, Amazon is not available yet (even for those, who has International credit cards). By
the way, even Amazon doesn't have all the movies with the participation of Timothy! In our
Ozon these titles are absent too. The copious information about the place, where you can find
and order the one or another film you will find on our
Chronology Pages of 60-70s, ,
80-s,
90-s and
our century (see the signs left to every movie title).
Look for and order, please!
Additionally, with a view to economy of your time, we provided
our reviews and articles from our chapter
"Films and TV" with the special links to the pages of ordering in Ozon. We recommend you to
attend Ozon even if you haven't desire to buy anything, because you will find there customers'
rating, brief annotation and, probably, viewer's review.
Different videos in Russian and/or English
for those, who live in Moscow.
We intend this section first of all for Muscovites, though we
are sure, every more or less large town or village has something like Moscow's Gorbushka!
You can either buy or order here the videos with the
participation of Timothy Dalton in Russian or English Languages, with subtitles in Russian or
in English or without them. But the videos' quality is not guaranteed by market element. Lucky
dip! For those, who prefers unexpectable things and risks, this is just the thing they need -
a fair ado, walking, fresh air - this is fine psychological safety valve after a whole week of
work!
If to judge from our own experience, we should say "Greatest
thanks to you, Gorbushka!". At different times we have bought there the next titles on video
with the participation of Timothy Dalton:
-
"The Lion In Winter",
-
"Cromwell",
-
"Flash Gordon" (that time this film wasn't licensed yet! ),
-
"Chanel Solitair",
-
"Jane Eyre" in English,
-
"Sins" (until thr first demonstration on Russian TV!),
-
"The Living Daylights" (until TV-demonstration!),
-
"License To Kill" (until TV-demonstration!),
-
"The King's Whore" (until the appearance of the licensed video),
-
"The Rocketeer" (until TV-demonstration),
-
"Lie Down With Lions" (until the appearance of the licensed video!),
-
"The Last Action Hero" (until the appearance of the licensed video!),
- "Possessed (The Exorcism)" (Recently, in November 2000!)
and those, who were Dalton's alternates:
- "Wuthering Heights" (1939),
- "Wuthering Heights" (1953),
- "Caesar and Cleopatra" (1946),
- "Julius Caesar" (1935),
- "Romeo and Juliet" (1968) (in English),
- "The Taming of the Shrew" (1967) (in English)
and many other films for our video-collection.
As you can see, it's rather well. And if you will take into
consideration that in some instances Gorbushka responds to the latest things of the
video-market more fast than our video-industry, don't forget to attend it regularly. There is
something to see and to buy! However, Gorbushka is constantly under the threat of closing -
this is a result of the struggle with the audio- and video pirates. Indeed, there are the bad
things, the Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese pirates do. And we, buying their production, we help
them. But we live in Russia and we earn tens times less, then our West colleagues do. That's
why we will pray, that rumours about Gorbushka's closing stayed only rumours this time as
before. By the way, if to struggle with the contemporary video-pirates, it would be better do
with the help of cutting prices, like Ozon does, but not with the help of simplest "closing"!
Writing videotapes from TV-set
TV, especially satellite TV, is a good source of films with the
participation of Timothy Dalton and another stars of cinema and stage.
To make your being here more convenient, we placed here the
programme of Russian TV for today. You can look it through, staying on our Pages, this one and
News Page.
Video-tapes' change with those,
who are similar to you
Unfortunately, but may be not, even being joined all three main
sources of videos can't supply all the wants of Dalton's admirers in a full scale! A number of
videos is available only in English. A part of them is licensed and you can buy these ones
with the help of your friends abroad either in the real video-shops, or through the
Internet-shops (Amazon or Critics Choice Video).
However for the most peoples this way will be impossible. In
such cases we recommend to work at change!
As a rule, Timothy Dalton's admirers are people of wide
sympathies. Because they are very kind, to communicate with them is a great pleasure. Make
useful social contacts, interchange views, films, books with them! This is a wonderful rest,
mixing "the business" with pleasure.
Use our Clubs on InfoArt and Yahoo as a place for your meetings!
Come there at all hours, ask questions yourself, answer the ones
of the others, consider yourself at home at remember, you are always welcome here!
Licensed videos (NTSC-format) in English for those, who live abroad
Due to the huge net, providing the delivery of ordered videos
and books (somehow, besides Russia!). Today the Internet-shop AMAZON.COM is the most famous
provisioner of the audio-, video- and books' production all over the world. You, will not,
probably find the user of Internet, who didn't attend this Web site constantly, at least, to
use the unique database of films. Books and audio-records!
Taking into consideration the popularity of this way to grow
your collections, we give here
the link to the common list of Timothy's films in Amazon.
Unfortunately, there are spots on the sun, and there are the mistakes in this list - unknown
titles, where Dalton never played - errors on the search system. Don't take any notice to
these mistakes! Click with your mouse bravely on the title you are interested in and order,
when you will stay on the Page of the chosen movie!
Additionally, every page of Chronology -
60-70-s,
80-s,
90-s and
our century has a number of links to Amazon Pages.
After our reviews from the Chapter "Films and TV" you will find these ones too, so
you can order these titles immediately.
If you live in USA, you can use another Internet-shop
Critics Choice Video too! We know it from the experience of our friends. We give a link to
this one - to the list of Timothy Dalton's works. All the actions here are the same as it have
been discussed above.
K.E., A.T.
Good luck!
