A complete and total seller of illegal bootlegs. Rule of thumb is that when
you can't find a studio title from any standard source but some site is
filled with them it is a bootlegger. Also no major titles are release
region free. It would NOT be legal copy if you bought it so the professor
will just have to wait.

Dear CW,

Is anyone familiar with the website moviedetective.net? One of our
faculty members is interested in a Michael Powell movie being sold by
them. It is *Herzog Blaubarts Burg http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077672/
*(1963).The description on their website is:
** **
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.
In German with English subtitles. This is a VHS transfer.
Peerless British filmmaker Michael Powell found his career in tatters
after directing the still-controversial crime thriller Peeping Tom (1960).
Bluebeard's Castle, Powell's first film in four years, constituted an
cinematization of the 1911 opera Bluebeard's Castle, by Bela Bartok, about
the nefarious exploits of the 19th century Parisian murderer (here played
by Norman Foster) who woos his female victims, then dispatches them.
Because the British industry was, for all intents and purposes, still
blacklisting Powell in 1964, he had to travel to Germany to make this one.
Legal issues kept Bluebeard's Castle out of circulation for decades.

Are the materials offered by them legit?

Thank you for any information on this site.

an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video
producers and distributors.
