The two-part "Saint" episode "Vendetta for the Saint" has here been cobbled together to make one seamless adventure package. Those two episodes, numbers 113 and 114 (out of 118), first aired in January '69, but have never made it to U.S. syndication. So don't look for them with other Season 5 and 6 episodes occasionally showing on the cable station BBC-America. That's a real shame, as this is one of the toughest adventures that Simon Templar has ever gotten himself involved in, in a long history of sticking his neck out for friends and casual acquaintances! Here, he goes to Sicily to take on all of the Mafia, after a stranger he meets in a bar is rubbed out by the Mob. The film features beautiful location shooting, the large cast typical of these programs, a more straightforward story line (some of the "Saint" episodes seem excessively complicated to me, many with gratuitous surprise endings), and some real harrowing moments for Simon. The old boy sure does have a tough time here, running all over the Palermo countryside as numerous Mafia goons hunt him down on motorbikes. A definite plus is that this DVD is just beautiful to look at; what an improvement over the televised "Saint"s! The colors are absolutely lustrous here; an absolutely first-rate transfer! My only problem with this exciting film, actually, was Ian Hendry, a terrific British actor who was here miscast, I feel, as an Italian don. Somehow, the Ipswich-born Hendry does not fully convince as a Sicilian. This quibble aside, "Vendetta for the Saint" should provide an excellent evening's entertainment for all Simon Templar fans.

As the 1970s are drawing to a close, Queen Elizabeth and her family find themselves preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing an appropriate bride for Prince Charles, who is still unmarried at 30.

Eleven years ago, the wealthy Ashby family was shattered when Mr and Mrs Ashby died in an airplane crash and their grieving son Tony committed suicide. All who remains is cruel Simon, an alcoholic in desperate need of funds; his mentally fragile sister Eleanor; and his protective aunt Harriet. Simon is just weeks away from receiving his inheritance, but there's a hitch in his plans when the long-believed dead Tony suddenly arrives.

In 1840s England, palaeontologist Mary Anning and a young woman sent by her husband to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship. Despite the chasm between their social spheres and personalities, Mary and Charlotte discover they can each offer what the other has been searching for: the realisation that they are not alone. It is the beginning of a passionate and all-consuming love affair that will defy all social bounds and alter the course of both lives irrevocably.

他們似生非死，在泥淖裡苦苦掙扎 陷入意識灰色地帶，如同浮沉混濁意識的孤鳥 判定對外界無反應的患者，有如徘迴在大腦迷宮的旅人…… ★英國廣播電視台BBC專題追蹤報導 ★CNN《60分鐘》專訪專題 ★泰晤士報、紐約時報、每日郵報、洛杉磯時報……各大國際媒體專題報導 「腦死」究竟是怎麼樣的狀態？「昏迷」的人聽得到我們說話嗎？「植物人」會痛嗎？對腦神經科學家安卓恩．歐文來說，他們是徘徊在「意識灰色地帶」的人，他們都是「困在大腦裡的人」！ ■無反應不表示沒意識——引爆科學、醫學與哲學思辨的最新大腦研究 科學家把介於有意識與腦死的模糊地帶稱之為「意識灰色地帶」，這類患者不是腦部嚴重受創，就是中風和退化性疾病（如阿茲海默症和巴金森氏症）的受害者。雖然這些病人很多對外界都沒有反應，且他們的醫生和家屬也都認為他們無法思考，但在歐文的研究中卻發現，這當中卻有為數不少的病人不太一樣。 這些與眾不同的病人，其實還擁有完整的心智，只不過受制於受損的大腦和軀體，才讓他們無法與外界溝通。歐文帶領團隊藉由各種精密的大腦掃描技術、聽覺刺激，甚至是亞佛烈德．希區考克的影片剪輯，發現了這個失落的族群。不只寫下了醫學史的新篇章，還引起了無數科學家、醫師和哲學家對生命的意義、價值和目的的討論！ ■為意識孤島，搭建溝通橋梁 當至親至愛陷入意識灰色地帶，最多的親屬都想知道──你痛苦嗎？、你快樂嗎？以及最後，也最關鍵的一題：「你，還想活著嗎？」 本書紀錄歐文運用最新的科技，與這群失落的族群「溝通」的故事，他不只是「找到」被困在大腦裡的病人，更能實際和他們溝通，並以引導式的問題得到他們的回覆。 #因紛爭摔傷成為植物人的大學籃球校隊傑出球員──艾咪的故事 歐文刻意詢問艾咪只有她能回答的個人問題，透過大腦活動反應位置不同，發現艾咪竟然能精準回答一連串的問題，在意識孤島中找到艾咪。被判定為植物人的她不只活著，且具有完整的意識！從此，家人改變對艾咪的照護方式，做任何事都向她解釋，隨時告訴她家人的生活狀況，帶她去看電影，幫她舉辦慶生會。歐文的發現，使得艾咪被困在軀殼裡長達七個月後，才終於又被當作一個人對待。 #因重感冒引起急性瀰漫性腦脊髓炎的托兒所老師──凱特的故事 凱特是歐文研究的病患中，首位從意識灰色地帶歸來的人。歐文透過家人照片與隨機照片的混合測試，發現凱特看到家人照片時，大腦有反應，證實她是有意識的。檢查後幾個月，凱特竟然奇蹟似地醒了過來，醒來的凱特能清楚描述自己被困在灰色意識裡的狀態，也證實當時她會感覺痛，也曾想發出聲音但身體怎麼也做不到，連想停止呼吸自殺也無能為力。這告白，十分令人揪心。 歐文的凱特研究，凸顯了當代醫學技術對於這些身體無反應者的了解仍不夠多，還有待更深入的研究與發展。 ■持續為困在大腦裡的人請命 歐文至今仍持續為這些深陷意識灰色地帶的患者努力，有朝一日，隨著「腦機介面」裝置的蓬勃發展，也許我們將能徹底改變與這群無法表達的患者溝通，這不僅改寫我們的未來，改變腦損傷患者的癒後狀況，更開創全人類擁有心電感應和超強智力的無限可能性！ 【專業推薦】（依姓氏筆劃排序） 蒼藍鴿｜台大醫師、醫療Youtuber 謝伯讓｜《大腦簡史》作者 ★ 各界盛讚 ★ 這是一本極為發人深省的書，它會讓你開始思考人生中最基本的概念：活著的意義以及成就你這個人的根本。安卓恩．歐文不僅是科學家中的翹楚，也是出色的說書人。 ──丹尼爾．列維廷（Daniel J. Levitin）， 著有紐約時報暢銷書《迷戀音樂的腦》（This Is Your Brain on Music）和《精明的腦袋》（直譯，The Organized Mind） 欲探究意識和人類精神邊界者的必讀佳作。神經科學家安卓恩．歐文將帶領我們展開一段迷人又揪心的旅程，探索人類經歷中最神祕的領域：生與死的灰色地帶。書中他將以權威、熱情和出乎意料的幽默筆觸，敘述這場真實的科學探險故事。《困在大腦裡的人》是一本引人入勝的讀物，你的眼界、心胸和思想都將因它開拓。 ──賈許．赫維茲（Joshua Horwitz）， 二一五年「國際筆會／E．O．威爾遜文學科學寫作獎」（PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award）得主， 著有《鯨魚戰爭》（直譯，War of the Whales: A True Story） 這本書絕對會是你讀過最動人又吸睛的科普書。安卓恩．歐文在《困在大腦裡》，不僅以該領域研究先驅的角度清晰描述了神經科學最前線的狀況，也從一個家屬的角度去深刻描述每一段與他切身有關和探索病人意識的點點滴滴。歐文巧妙地把這兩股脈絡融合在一起，進而帶出關於人類本體和價值的重要道德問題。 ──丹尼爾．博爾（Daniel Bor）， 著有《貪婪的大腦》（The Ravenous Brain: How the New Science of Consciousness Explains Our Insatiable Search for Meaning） 極為感人、深遠又精彩絕倫的著作，字裡行間都可看出他對生命和科學的熱情。歐文一直致力於神經科學的探索，他希望改變人們對植物人的想法，並讓病人和家屬得到他們渴求的答案。他的這段探索歷程高潮迭起，讀者無不笑中帶淚、又驚又喜。 ──約翰．鄧肯（John Duncan）， 著有《智慧由何來》（直譯，How Intelligence Happens）
