Thanks quoia as usual there.

A local charity shop of mine asks for a donation of your choosing for freebie discs. A good policy IMO.

My local charity shop has a big pile marked up at £2 each! Funny how nobody ever seems to buy any. They really have no idea.

My contact at The Mail On Sunday tells me that this was an error on their part.

Think I found what "went wrong" here - discovered this quite by accident !

The GLORY DVD was NEVER going to be given away on the 15th May.

We did ACTUALLY got "THIS" DVD the week BEFORE !!!

It was the "Morgan Freeman" "Under Suspicion" DVD.

I believe the confusion arose from an article in the "Live Night & Day" magazine of the Sunday before that (30th April)

"The redemption of Morgan Freeman" By CAROLINE GRAHAM, Live Night & Day

There is a section which says >>>>>

Working with Gene Hackman

"I think that movies and television are the most important teaching tools that we have today and Glory told a story that had been hidden from view forever." But he speaks most warmly of helping produce Under Suspicion with Gene Hackman ("my old buddy from a little flick called Unforgiven"), a film that received significant critical accolades when it was released in 2000.

The psychological thriller, the DVD of which will be free with The Mail On Sunday next weekend, is dear to his heart. A bold remake of the 1981 French film Garde A Vue, it took a mammoth 12 years to bring it the screen. "It's always a nightmare getting any rights to a French movie. Gene and I wanted to work together again and this was the perfect vehicle."

In the film, Freeman plays a police detective in Puerto Rico grilling a wealthy lawyer (Hackman) about the rape and murder of two girls over the course of one night. "It's almost theatrical," he says, "You have these two strong characters in this intense drama. It has the quality of a stage play about it.


With just a quick read of this, unless you actually know the storyline, you might think the DVD being given away is GLORY when in fact it is "Under Suspicion" that is being referred to. Also because of when this was published "next weekend" was actually 7th May.

The error of which specific film was being given away, I presume was made by the author CAROLINE GRAHAM, since the last line of the article is ...
