When it comes to
making cameo appearances in movies, Alfred Hitchcock really was the Master.
However, Cinema Retro magazine is hot on his heels after making its television
debut in the new hit BBC television show, “Psychovilleâ€, a seven-part series
currently airing in Britain.
Written by and
starring Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, best known for being part of
“The League of Gentlemen†team, “Psychoville†is a dark character comedy
mystery featuring characters from all over the UK, who each receive a
mysterious letter. The production values are high, the writing excellent, and
Shearsmith and Pemberton prove once again just how extraordinary their acting
talents are, playing not only the leads, but subsidiary roles too. What makes
this series stand out from others is the writing skills of this duo, who are
both self-confessed movie fanatics, and have woven references to many movie murder
mystery classics in the series.
In episode 4,
which aired on july 8th, the creative team paid homage to
Hitchcock’s “Ropeâ€, with the first 20 minutes or so being totally filmed in one
shot as the camera tracks around the actors in an apartment after just
murdering a man and putting him in a trunk in the centre of the room. It is just
brilliant, and a must-see for movie lovers.
So, where do we
come in? Well, throughout the whole show, a copy of Cinema Retro issue 2 lies
on top of the trunk holding the body! Now we know the guys are fans of the
magazine, as you can see from our news item in issue #14, when they met our
reporter Adrian Smith. However, whilst this is our first claim to product
placement, we can assure you no payment was made, although we do hear that Shearsmith and Pemberton are now making perverted sexual demands of our reporters.

Adrian’s on-line interview with the team, and catch up with “Psychoville†now –
you will not be disappointed. The show’s web site is at www.bbc.co.uk/psychoville
The first Cinema Retro Movie Classics special edition issue tribute to Where Eagles Dare continues to spark enthusiasm across the UK and Europe where it is now shipping. The British magazine Home Cinema Choice gives this issue a rave review. Critic Chris Jenkins says, in part:Â
"The Cinema Retro Special goes into tremendous detail on the
movie in 80 full-colour pages, including features on the cast and crew,
stunts, vehicles, shooting history, effects production and marketing
campaign. The amount of detail, the quality of the pictures and the
production values of the magazine are tremendous, and it's light on
ads. Just one of the little gems of information in it is that the
Junkers aircraft seen in the opening sequence is the same one recently
used in Tom Cruise's wartime assassination thriller Valkyrie."
The Where Eagles Dare special edition will be arriving in the North American market in a matter of weeks. If you have already reserved a copy or pre-paid, no need to worry - your issue is reserved. For full information about ordering/reserving this issue, click here.
Going, Going, Gone...Issue #10 of Cinema Retro is now sold out forever.
Cinema Retro issue #10 is now totally sold out. The few remaining copies we had located were quickly depleted. As with issue #8, which is also sold out, we will not be able to acquire more copies. Every issue of Cinema Retro is a limited edition collectible and will not be reprinted. As of right now, there are also very few copies of issue #11 and #12 left in stock. We hate to disappoint those of you who intend to collect all issues of the magazine, but as we've said many times there is a simple way to ensure you never miss an issue: subscribe. You will not only get the magazine prior to it appearing in stores, but it will be mailed to you in a protective envelope - plus postage is free in the US, Canada and the UK.
As a side issue, unfortunately, we can't provide sources for these rare back issues. We are aware that issue #8 is now selling for close to $100 among collectors and issue #10 will undoubtedly also skyrocket in price now that we have sold out. Two major stores that do carry a good selection of Cinema Retro back issues are Larry Edmunds Book Store in Hollywood and The Cinema Store in London, though both report they have sold out of issues #8 and #10.
Thanks again to all of our readers and subscribers for your continued support of Cinema Retro.
The famed Cinema Store in London reports record magazines sales for Cinema Retro's just-released Movie Classics Special Edition tribute to the Richard Burton/Clint Eastwood WWII classic Where Eagles Dare. The new issue is the fastest-selling magazine title the store has ever stocked, which says a lot about the British public's respect and taste for great movies of the past. If you haven't ordered your copy yet, it's shipping in the UK and Europe and will be shipping to all other areas in mid-to-late July.For info on The Cinema Store click here
