It rarely gets shown on TV and although there was a pan-and-scan laser disc about 20 years ago, it has been neglected on home video ever since. Well, Network, a UK based DVD and Blu-Ray label that is especially fond of John Barry, is bringing it back out. https://networkonair.com/coming-soon/3283-dove-the-blu-ray- Tip of the hat to Peter Greenhill for tipping me off on this.

Doesn't appear they've been able to do that on this release but it's still worth having.

I've watched a few minutes on YouTube but kept hoping that it'll appear on BluRay one-day. I didn't see the film on release ... I had no interest in watching a film of a youngster sailing around the world .. but a couple of years later I got the vinyl LP (US Release) soundtrack and then had to see the film. The music is that good! In the mid-70s films would get recycled and this 1974 release came around as second feature to The Likely Lads (1976) which I was happy to see. I came away so entranced with The Dove that for many years it was one of my five favourite films. I don't expect it to register that well with me again ... but, who knows? But as for the cover image. Is the young lady in a bikini meant to be Deborah Raffin? No way!

Nothing special, but there are worse ways to spend a Sunday afternoon. The score, of course, is outstanding!    Posted:   Jan 20, 2021 - 4:14 PM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) Good that this one is finally getting a DVD/Blu-ray release. It's been a long time coming.    Posted:   Jan 20, 2021 - 9:44 PM     By:   Chris Malone   (Member) I love, love, love this score. It sits in my top of top John Barry scores. Just wonderful! Did I mention I really like this score? I will be checking out the Blu-ray for sure. Chris    Posted:   Jan 21, 2021 - 4:56 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) I love, love, love this score.

(Just kidding!) Cheers    Posted:   Jan 21, 2021 - 5:55 AM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member) It's on my pre-order list along with Kidnapped. I remember seeing this at my local cinema.    Posted:   Jan 21, 2021 - 7:10 AM     By:   villagardens553   (Member) There are many adjectives often used to describe Barry's music: melancholy, slow, heartbreaking, pensive, etc, but one you seldom here is exuberant. Barry really delivers an optimistic and, gulp, happy score.    Posted:   Jan 21, 2021 - 5:34 PM     By:   jkannry   (Member) There are many adjectives often used to describe Barry's music: melancholy, slow, heartbreaking, pensive, etc, but one you seldom here is exuberant. Barry really delivers an optimistic and, gulp, happy score. I love Barry. I have many many of his albums. But if your having a down day or feeling depressed there’s a lot of his music that you’re not going to want to play. It’s not gonna be uplifting. His actions scores and in particular his Bond scores in his early music are exceptions to that. But if it’s his later period, you do not want to play on a down day.    Posted:   Jan 21, 2021 - 11:08 PM     By:   peterproud   (Member) It's a shame the audio is mono. Love the stereo separation of the guitars in many of the cues in this score. Haven't seen the film though so will likely pick it up as I love the score and always enjoy a sailing flick.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2021 - 6:12 AM     By:   Ray Faiola   (Member) I prefer the other DOVE!     General Discussion: THE DOVE coming out on Blu-Ray    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
