COMPETITION: Win The Odd Job on Blu-ray

The Odd Job


Severin Films have announced the release of Hungarian/British/American director Peter Medak's 70s comedy caper The Odd Job on Blu-ray.

And to celebrate we have a copy on blu-ray to give away!

Synopsis:
Director Peter Medak’s 1978 black comedy is co-written by and stars Graham Chapman – just prior to Life of Brian, as happily married Arthur Harris, who becomes suicidal when his wife suddenly up and leaves him. Trying and failing miserably to do the deed himself, when a peculiar handyman (BAFTA-winner Sir David Jason of Only Fools and Horses, in a role once intended for Keith Moon), turns up on his doorstep to offer his services, he enlists the help of this strange stranger, to kill him instead.

But when Arthur’s wife decides to come back home and try again, he discovers that his homicidal hire has every intention of finishing the job. Diana Quick (Brideshead Revisited), Carolyn Seymour (THE RULING CLASS), Simon Williams (Jabberwocky), Bill Paterson (Fleabag) and Richard O’Brien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) co-star in this “crazy comedy” (Travalanche) co-written by Chapman with Bernard McKenna (Yellowbeard) and produced by Mark Forstater (Monty Python and The Holy Grail), now scanned in 2K from Peter Medak’s personal 35mm print.
