Great video. I have read all of Wilbur Smith's books and now have been acquiring all the video/movies that are avialable.
Gold movie with Roger Moore and Susannah York
2005-08-25
Great movie made back in the 70s, set in South Africa.
This particular version on VHS with somewhat scratchy playback but still OK to watch.
Great movie...pity about the DVD
2003-04-18
This movie made by former Bond director Peter (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) Hunt and starring then 007 Roger Moore has all the hallmarks of a great fun action thriller. Yet, the action doesn't seem to truly pick up until the latter part of the movie when things start to go terribly wrong in a South African gold mine.
The plot - for what it's worth - revolves around plans to increase the value of gold stocks by flooding a gold mine in Africa, and the machinations employed to keep the manager of the mine (played by Moore) suitably distracted and away from the location to allow the villains plot to succeed.
A great cast supports Moore in this piece including Susannah York and Sir John Gielgud and it moves at a fair pace. The troubling aspect about this movie (and the reason I give it only four stars) is the poor treatment that has been afforded the picture on the DVD - it really does deserve to be redone and remastered.
Roger Moore gives one of his best Performances
2001-07-06
After Peter Hunt directed ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE he left the Bond series. This was Hunt's best directorial effort since then. Roger Moore gives a standout performance as an engineer working for a gold mine in South Africa. The beautiful Susannah York provides the love interest. The sort of likeable Bradford Dillman is the villain of the piece. At a time when composer Elmer Berstein seemed to be struggling between genres he came up with one of his most innovative and beautiful scores including a rousing vocal main title. This is a good film supported by an intelligent script. Well acted.
Gold - Remastered From The Original 8mm Master
2001-06-26
Yes, I must agree with other reviews, the quality is very poor with words cut out. Strange when they claim it's restored from a "master copy". Perhaps the movie will be re-issued in anamorphic widescreen by a dvd mastering company that has something better than a 10 year old vhs deck!
