I really like the ideas being posted for a DVD of A Man Called Dagger.
Another action flick that is impossible to find on DVD, or even VHS, is
Blake Edward's Gunn, a feature film version of his famous Peter Gunn
film. I have always wanted to see this movie, but there have been no
videos, trailers, or even a soundtrack album. The only things I have
seen of this rather elusive film are the poster, and a semi-nude
publicity still of Sherry Jackson. Fans of Peter Gunn, Blake Edwards,
Henry Mancini, and Ms. Jackson would love to finally see this lost
treasure if it still exists somewhere. Please.-

Retro Responds: Good suggestion, Steven. Despite the fact that Edwards directed the film, it's largely been buried over the years. Did you know that William Friedkin was approached to direct it? He blatantly told Edwards and screenwriter William Peter Blatty that he hated the script. Blatty so admired Friedkin's honesty that he suggested him as the director of The Exorcist years later.- Lee Pfeiffer
