I'd LOVE to see this just for the cast alone! It sounds like a hoot, and I bet if it were more readily available it probably would reach cult status. Does anyone know if the baby in this film was his?
shareI am looking for a copy of this as well. I've requested it on TCM but no luck so far. I also saw it when I was a kid and it has stuck with me all these years. Any solutions/help?!

Been a fan of the story since I was little, but never knew there was a movie.
Thanks for that link!

TCM has it listed for 4/15/2009 as part of an all-day Hans-a-thon.
IMDB shows the run time as 84 minutes. Maltin and TCM say 72, and TCM has it in a 75-minute slot. Any guesses as to what might be missing?

http://www.freemoviesondvd.com/ has it now. I trust this company, and have had good luck with their movies in the past.

I have a few extra copies on DVD-R if anyone wants one. Drop me a line. It is made from a VHS videotape of a 16mm TV print, so that's the statement on quality.

It's was on Comet TV recently. I'm sure they'll replay it again.
