Robert Tanitch reviews the latest DVD's
- Wednesday, 22 February 2012
OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS (StudioCanal). Carol Reed’s powerful adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s novel, of colonial greed, lust and moral degradation was much underrated when it was released in 1952. A blackguard (Trevor Howard), a liar, a thief and a cheat, infatuated with a native, loses complete control of his life. There is a superb theatrical confrontation between Howard and Ralph Richardson (as his mentor whom he betrays). Robert Morley has rarely been better and there is a neat cameo by Wilfrid Hyde-White as a silky, oily cleric.

The PIE Guide, in association with London Councils, is pleased to announce the launch of the latest Blue Badge Guide for London.

With the 2012 Games being a truly inclusive event, we hope this unique experience will provide a catalyst to improve the accessibility of transport networks across London.
