The Lost World of Mr Hardy

Am I loosing it? This morning I ordered a copy of The Lost World of Mr Hardy, the wonderful film made by Andy Heathcote and Heike Bachelier and published by Trufflepig Films. I browsed over a couple of the trailers found on the web. This afternoon, after some hard work outside, I thought about how impatient I was to get the DVD and the book I ordered (see post below), then it hit me like a bolt from the blue that I had seen the film before! I was sure that I actually owned a copy the film. I checked my DVD collection and there it was. After a bit of searching I discovered that I had bought it in October 2009 from Amazon. Anyway, I'll put it on tonight and get back into the mood of fly fishing. Take a look at the trailer:

The story...

Once upon a time, two brothers from a tiny town in the far north of England, set out to capture the hearts and minds of fishing maharajahs, film stars and royalty the world over...

“Mister Jim” is how the employees today address Jim Hardy, last of the family to work for Hardy's and now retired. Back in 1873, his Grandfather and his Great-Uncle Hardy opened their small shop in the far north of England. They were passionate fishermen and so they invented fishing tackle. The criteria: "Only the best is good enough."

With their skill, devotion, and innovative marketing they would conquer the world. Kings, Queens and Maharajahs adored them and the family firm of Hardy's has been synonymous with fishing ever since.
