A still-to-be-completed Amazon order and a recent trip to Baltimore allowed me the opportunity to add to my DVD library. Looking forward to Michael Crichton’s The Great Train Robbery and Robert Aldrich’s Hustle, both of which I’ve never seen, and the Criterions, especially. Thrilled to have almost completed my Kubrick collection.

FYI: The Baltimore DVDs were sourced at Sound Garden at 1616 Thames Street and Video Americain on St. Paul’s street in Charles Village, which is closing in mid-July and offering serious discounts on its stock. It has a room, both VHS and DVD, dedicated to great international directors. Need I say more?
