DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

ashley wetherall There are a lot of people out there who don't like Tommy Steel. But if you asked them why , I bet they couldn't tell you the reason. Or if they could I bet they would give you some superficial reason. For instance his toothy grin, his cockney brogue when he sings and his full head of hair, Tommy the toreador?The truth is it all comes down to a bit of petty jealousy. Tommy steel can sing, dance, act and he's been doing all these things well for over 50 years. He is also responsible for one of the best Christmas musical extravaganza's ever made for television. I first saw Quincy's Quest when I was 8 years old and I was blown away by it. Last year I managed to see a bootleg copy of it and it is as still as fresh as ever. The story of a broken toy left in the basement of a department store that goes on a quest to top floor to find Father Christmas and ask him to save the other broken toy's before they are incinerated. On his quest he has many adventures, finds love and has to battle and evil witch and her robot henchman. There are great song's along the way and a bit of anti war pathos that never gets preachy.The special effects are old fashioned but are done very well. And all the performances are spot on.The only problem is that its still not available on DVD and has never been shown on TV since the early 80's. I whole heartedly recommend Quincy's Quest for the whole family. Both Kids and Adults will love it.

Ogy I also have very fond memories of this film as a young child. I am determined to get a copy. I had this on video tape for a very long time as a child and know it word for word - even now I'd guess I could name the next line/screen. However, as this get played repeatedly in my house by me and my brother it eventually wore out! Finally when we moved house my parents used the opportunity to 'accidentally loose it'. Can you believe it? I was so pleased to find this notice board as none of my mates has ever heard of it. This is not just for me but to show my young children - to show them how we did things before animation!!! Please help if you know where I can get a copy of this wonderful oldie.

t-weir This is one of the best christmas films i have seen, my mother and myself hope each year for it to come on the TV. I would love to get it if anyone knows where i could buy it i would love to know. Please put it on again, Where is Tommy Steele these days any way???

dan.taylor The Holy Grail. The Fisher King. Moby Dick. The quest motif is as old as story-telling itself, but never told so effectively or thought-provokingly as this 1979 masterpiece. Steele is solid, Franklin the stuff of childhood nightmares,but it is Reed's bold, sweeping directorial strokes that set this epic towering over its contemporaries. The fact it is set at Christmas lends it atmosphere but is immaterial - the themes are timeless, as valid now as they ever were. Essential.
