Hello Leslie’s fans ! I have found “Outward bound” yesterday on youtube. Here’s the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQnJUQKtl5c
Enjoy !
Thank you so much for the link!
I really enjoy visiting your amazing blog. It is fitting that there should be such an elegant and beautiful tribute to Leslie, and I am glad to have found your site.
It must have taken quite a bit of time and effort to put it all together, so I want to say thank you! If you get the chance, would you please direct me to where I can watch some of Leslie’s earlier films in their entirety, especially Service for Ladies or Five And Ten…or any others? I appreciate it 🙂
Unfortunately, many of Leslie’s earlier films are not available on the Internet. It took me quite a long time to find them all (and some are only available in bad copies). They cannot be uploaded on YouTube or elsewhere for copyright reasons, and I blame the copyright owners for not releasing those films on dvd.
Thank you for replying. It’s a bit silly, isn’t it? That the copyright is held more strictly to the earlier films (and for such unknown reasons- it seems to only block so many of his fans from enjoying his work??) while his later films are more readily available…it seems rather backwards.
Wow, you’re so lucky to have found them all! Even if the copies aren’t of ideal quality, it sure is better than nothing at all. How can I find them too? Any advice on where to begin searching would be helpful! Have a good weekend 🙂
There are a couple of shops (Lovingtheclassics, ScooterMovies) offering films on dvd, but I don’t know if the quality is good or not. Some films were available on YouTube for a very short time, and I was able to download them before they disappeared. I found other films through peer-to-peer file sharing, (and I had a really hard time downloading them, because only one source was available…). There are different strategies, but, to sum up, you need to spend a lot of time and patience in frustrating research!
Oh yes, as a classic movie fan I am all too familiar with the time, money, and frustration involved in researching! It just seems that I’ve had bad timing with a few of Leslie’s films…by the time I got to the links, the films had already disappeared. I’m hoping that someone will share them again, even if only for a short time.
I’d like to share a link I found on dailymotion for It’s Love I’m After. I hope this link works in all areas. If not, just search the title and it should come up, posted by Craze Digital Movies.

If you could please help me connect with the file sharing source you found, I’d be so grateful!
I checked out those shops, but the Better Business Bureau lists them both with poor reviews due to complaints from customers not getting their orders. Have you ever ordered from them?
Hey Leslie’s fans ! Where can I see The lady is willing ??
Thank you 🙂
Oh, gramercy!! Merci beaucoup – this is a treausre, and I appreciate it more than plain words can say. Thank you so much for all of this.
If I find another dead link, I shall return; but Veehd’s flash video of ‘The Lady is Willing’ is not loading – saying the clip is not found.
You can download it from Veehd: http://v15.veehd.com/dl/01a3951929df130e1402d0a5566647aa/1435881571/2.4925051.mp4
I hope this works
….is there a trick to downloading? Downloading used to work, but lately it doesn’t…. I’m sorry for the bother.
I tried yesterday and it worked for me. I logged in with my account, went to the page http://veehd.com/video/4925051_The-Lady-Is-Willing-1934 clicked “download” and waited; sometimes there is an ad before the link appears, sometimes I just have to wait. Generally, it takes some time for the link to appear.
Oh, thank you immensely!! It worked this time – gramercy!! Thank you for your patience, and I am sorry for bothering you.
