Italian director Franco Zeffirelli stunned the screen world when he cast two young unknowns to portray the star-crossed lovers in 'Romeo and Juliet', but it was a gamble that resulted in one of the most popular motion pictures of all time, winning international acclaim and four Academy Award nominations.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes portray Romeo and Juliet, the youthful star-crossed lovers of the past. But the setting has been moved from its Elizabethan origins to the futuristic urban backdrop of Verona Beach.

Edward Woodward gives an electrifying performance as a reluctant professional killer working for British Intelligence. 'Callan' became a national phenomenon in the late 1960's, making Woodward one of the highest profile actors on television and paving the way to his eventual career in America on shows like 'The Equalizer'. Created by James Mitchell (When the Boat Comes In) and exploring the dingy, twilight world of the professional spy, 'Callan' was the antithesis of the James Bond films (back in the days of Connery and Moore) and presented television's most realistic portrayal, until that point, of government espionage. This set contains the original 'Armchair Theatre' pilot play, 'A Magnum for Schneider', along with all the remaining black and white episodes from series one and two - unseen in nearly forty years and unavailable in any format until now. 'The Worst Soldier I Ever Saw' only exists as an unedited recording block and has been re-edited into its proper transmission format for this release.
Edward Woodward gives an electrifying performance as a reluctant professional killer working for British Intelligence.'Callan' became a national phenomenon in the late 1960's, making Woodward one of the highest profile actors on television and paving the way to his eventual career in America on shows like 'The Equalizer'. Created by James Mitchell (When the Boat Comes In) and exploring the dingy, twilight world of the professional spy, 'Callan' was the antithesis of the James Bond films (back in the days of Connery and Moore) and presented what was, until that point, television's most realistic portrayal of government espionage. This set contains all twenty-two colour episodes from the Thames Television-produced series three and four - the majority of which have been unseen for over twenty years and are available here for the first time. When series three was broadcast it was disrupted and shown out of order - it is included here in its intended order.
TV viewers first met secret agent Callan in a one-off Armchair theatre play A Magnum for Schneider, in which the disgraced former top secret service agent is seconded to a government section devoted to the elimination of undesirables - by whatever means necessary. Callan's was a violent, bleak world where if you didn't kill first they killed you. He was a cold-blooded killer, an outsider - isolated, often in direct conflict with his superior, Hunter, a codename given to all Heads of Section. So successful was the hit man with viewers that author James Mitchell was asked to write a series that went on to become one of the most successful series in British TV history and ran from 1967 through to 1972... This feature film is an expanded rewrite of the first TV episode in which the disgraced former secret service agent David Callan is given an opportunity to redeem himself with one more liquidation. His assignment is to kill a businessman responsible for a number of bombings and gun running, but not everything goes according to plan.
Sean Connery and Michael Caine - chins out, shoulders squared and with an occasional sly wink - star as British sergeants Danny Dravot and Peachy Carnehan. The Empire was built by men like these two.
