PATRICIA ROC FILMS FOR SALE ON DVD
(Last updated October 2008)
While Patricia Roc was one of the biggest names in British movies of the 1940s (along
with Phyllis Calvert and Margaret Lockwood) sadly release and availability of her films
is patchy. Here we list all the films that are currently available
on DVD from the UK for your convenience. This section of the news will be revisited and updated
from time to time as
new releases appear and old ones are deleted.
The above are all available on DVD and we have arranged them
in order of our favourites (so top left is our favourite Pat
Roc movie that's currently available). The Stewart Granger
collection bottom right is a mix of films the highlight of
which in terms of Pat is "Madonna of the Seven Moons".
Further movies can be found on VHS - here are a few links to
some not already listed above...
The Brothers (1947)
Love Story [1944]
Jassy [1947]
The Perfect Woman [1949]
Obituaries
Sadly Patricia Roc died on December the 30th 2003 in Locarno, Switzerland officially
from kidney failure although it was really a combination of a number of things associated
with old age. Below are links to obituaries reported in the Media at the time.
I am sure we will all remember her for her delightful performances and all she gave to us.
Even if she did not know every one of her fans personally I know she cherished all the
good wishes and interest that people sent her. I also feel she touched, sometimes quite
deeply, many lives through her work.
