It's Not Good For A Man To Be Alone (1973)

Martin, a respected engineer at a shipbuilding company in Bilbao, maintains a quiet and reserved demeanor. His colleagues wonder about his wife, whom no one has ever met, and whose mysterious illness keeps her confined to their gloomy house overlooking the bay. But behind closed doors, Martin's relationship with his wife is anything but conventional. When a new woman moves into the neighborhood, she quickly uncovers Martin's secret and uses it to her advantage, leading to desperate measures on his part. This atmospheric psycho-thriller set in misty Bilbao was a box office success and is now a hidden gem of Spanish cinema, taking its title from a passage in the Bible.

The House Without Frontiers (1972)

Daniel, in his twenties, moves to Bilbao from his hometown in search of self-discovery. While job hunting, he frequents the city library and meets a seemingly kind elderly man who offers to help him find work. Soon, Daniel begins working for The House Without Frontiers and is assigned the task of locating a young woman named Anabel Campos (played by Geraldine Chaplin). However, Daniel's attempts to question the true nature of the organization are repeatedly hindered. As he falls in love with the elusive Anabel, he uncovers the disturbing and Kafkaesque reality of The House Without Frontiers. This film, set in the melancholic and morbid city of Bilbao, boasts standout performances by Chaplin and Tony Isbert, with a noteworthy appearance by Patty Shepard. This Blu-ray is the first release of the film and includes the rare English audio track.

This limited slip cover edition includes a 24 page booklet and 8 full color lobby cards.  Limited to 2,000 numbered copies.

DVD Grading

We spot play test all used DVD's.  DVD's that have never been opened we obviously cannot guarantee their state. 

We encourage you to view all the pictures and read our comments on the conditions, as we find these to be more beneficial than a standard grade. Occasionally we'll use a grade range (ie: VG / VG+) for either disc or cover if condition is borderline and hard to stick in one category.

Mint:

DVD - only given to sealed discs, or films we personally acquired new, opened them but never played. Of course since the disc is sealed we cannot guarantee there are no pressing flaws, and since DVD's are out of print, we cannot except returns or exchanges on sealed titles that have been opened.

Cover - is still sealed.

Near Mint (NM):

DVD - looks like new.

Cover - may have light typical storage wear, but overall looks new.

Excellent (EX):

DVD - may have one or two light marks (not scratches) but should play with no issues.

Cover - has some very minor cosmetic issue, like a light crease, nothing that is very noticeable.

Very Good Plus (VG+):

DVD - will have some scuffs and light surface marks (not scratches), but should play with no issues.  

Cover - will have noticeable wear, writing on cover, creases, etc.  Could be a couple items (not all) and they should not be major.

Very Good (VG):

DVD - will have a fair amout of surface wear, possibly scratches that can be felt, but should play through without hanging up.

Cover - will have a couple cosmetic issues , writing on cover, creases, etc and it will be very pronounced.

Good (G):

DVD - we will not list discs that aren't VG or better.

Cover - cover is damaged to a point where it is not usable.   The only time we'll list something with a cover in this shape is if it's rare or the disc is in great shape.

Orders ship within two business days.

Rest assured, unlike MANY sellers and even large companies, we know how to ship vinyl (and LaserDiscs) correctly! We used high quality mailers, two to three cardboard stiffners and if the album you are buying is used it is shipped outside the cover to prevent damage to the seams in transit. When it comes to shipping LaserDiscs we don't always ship outside the cover as in transit seam wear is not as common. If you want your discs shipped outside the cover feel free to note that at checkout in the message box.

See our new shipping page HERE for all rates and information.

Please note we no longer ship to the following:
Germany - because of your LUCID packaging registration requirements
UK (including Ireland & Scotland) - because of your Brexit VAT registration requirements
