The Last of Sheila, Available Again on DVD

This past June we reported on plans to remake one of our favorite films from the 1970s, The Last of Sheila. At the time we mentioned that getting a copy of the DVD was difficult … but not any more!

This week Warner Bros. made available the film as a manufacture-on-demand (MOD) release; you can get a copy from Amazon. (It's also available on Amazon Instant, to rent or own.)

The film stars James Coburn as Clinton Greene, a movie producer, who assembles, Agatha Christie-style, a group of guests — played by Richard Benjamin, Dyan Cannon, James Mason, Ian McShane, Joan Hackett, and Raquel Welch — aboard his yacht for a week-long Mediterranean cruise. Once underway, he announces that their mini-vacation is actually a game in which they must discover everyone else's secret while protecting their own. And one of those secrets is the identity of who was driving the car that killed his wife in a hit-and-run accident years ago. It isn't long before Clinton is murdered, and the game turns into one in which the guests must determined which one of them is a killer.

If you've never seen The Last of Sheila, we urge you to check it out. You won't be disappointed.
