Anywhere to watch this online?

I have checked atomfilms.com and they don't have it. Anyone know of anywhere this could be online?

I also saw it on TCM, unlisted in the guide, at the end of a movie. Anyway to predict when TCM may show it again?

Dont know if you found it already but I stumbled across it on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKgtffA56mQ&search=dot%20and%20the%20line

The link should work, but if it doesnt for some reason just search for the dot and the line from youtube's home page.

So there it is, in all its glory. Enjoy!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing there's no way to save it... unless you pay or something, right?

Do things on youtube last forever?

[–] locdog40s 18 years ago

The videos on youtube last until the person who uploaded it to the site decides to take it down. So it could be here today, gone tomorrow.

You can't save the videos on youtube, only stream them. But you could send a message to the person who uploaded it and see if they could send it to you or make it available for download. You'd have to sign up to get that feature, but its all free.

Hope that helps.

This film is too amazing not to be seen.

So... I checked on it a few days ago and it turns out that the video has been removed yet again from Youtube. I also looked for it on GVid and Metacafe but they don't have it.
Did anyone got a chance at downloading the short? And if the answer's yes, would he/she be so kind as to e-mail it to me?
Thanks a lot.

I hav e been looking for this short for years!
Any luck?
I would really love to have it, too!
Thanks!

I sincerely recommend www.keepvid.com That's what I use to satisfy all of my online-video-grabbing needs! :-D And then, if you don't want to keep all of the jewels you download on that crappy .flv format, I recommend Riva's FLV converter.

check out dailymotion.com, I've seen it on there.

I think somebody reposted it to youtube. Here is the url.

Hopefully it will last long enough this time that someone will get to see it.

"Anyway to predict when TCM may show it again?"

It's on the schedule for 03-Sep-2007. Check local two-dimensional listings.

TCM just played it - I remember watching this in math class

i found several versions on youtube, but if you want a more permanent copy, my boyfriend just gave me a copy of the glass bottom boat starring doris day solely because the dot and the line is a special feature on it. it's a very nice transfer ... :) i love the dot and the line.

Just FYI: This short was indeed released on DVD as an extra to the Doris Day film, "The Glass Bottom Boat."

If that DVD is still available, that's where you'll find it!!
