Telly Savalas Looks at Birmingham:why isn't this on DVD yet?
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 4:18 am
It's time to start a petition for the DVD release of the immortal Telly Savalas Looks at Birmingham (that's Birmingham, England, not Alabama). Possibly Telly's greatest hour (well 25 minutes), this film desperately needs to be released on DVD NOW.
A deeply personal work in which the star reveals that he "dallied in Dale End", "rambled through Rackhams" department store and "browsed in Bull Street," Telly shares his love of such modern architectural marvels as Spaghetti Junction, the Bull Ring and the revolutionary inner ring road. "You feel as if you've been projected into the 21st Century... Yes, it's my kinda town. So long, Birmingham. Here's looking at ya."

I saw this one years ago, and I think it's high time a new generation discovered this masterpiece of documentary filmmaking.
