Title: New David Selby Film on DVD
Post by: MsCriseyde on May 02, 2004, 08:16:06 PM
In late 2002, it was reported that David Selby had a brief role in the film Topanga Canyon, which was retitled Topanga. In 2003, under the new title The Affair, the film began making rounds in independent film festivals.

The News page of the Official David Selby Web Site (http://www.davidselby.com/news.htm) is reporting that The Affair is set to be released on DVD this month. The page includes a link to the film's official site.

BTW, the online reviews for this film are somewhat mixed. The one I've found that specifically mentions David's performance also gives away the entire plot. So here's a link to it (http://www.malamute.cc/dogpile/pages/reviews/rford_main.htm) if you don't mind having the ending told to you.

And here's the part about David's performance, if you don't want to read the review:

The only interesting performance for me, and the only actor who seemed to give a damn about what he was doing on the screen, was DAVID SELBY (Quentin from "Dark Shadows") as a crusty old redneck landowner, trying to collect back rent from loser Viggo. He is old and broken, yet tough and craggy to the core. Sadly, he is on the screen for just a few seconds, and only in a wide master shot. There are no close-ups to get a better look at his work.

Umm, yeah, his work. That's what I wanted a better look at.  >:D
