Where in the hell can I find this?


I caught this movie about two weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon on the Fox Movie Channel and it has been haunting me since. I was immersed in this film and I believe it is one of my favorites. I've been scouring the internet but to no avail, is there anywhere, ANYWHERE that this movie can be found (in any format)?! Please, if you have any info, let me know. Thanks.

Recorded it to DVD. Watching it right now! :)

I'm going to try to make this available to anyone who might want it when I get the chance (free of course). I'm pretty sure it's legal since it was never distributed in any format (?).

Anyone know?

Well, I suppose there's not exactly a teeming demand for this one. No wonder Fox isn't rushing to get it released. Well if I ever get enough interest, I'll see what I can do to share it.

I would definetely want it. I recorded it but someone deleted it before I had a chance to watch it. :(

I'll definitely see what I can do.

The version I have recorded was recorded to DVD but has some bits of commercials and program before and after the film (none during). What I'm going to try to do is copy it over to my system and then try to use an editing software to cut out the bits before and after. I'll then try and see if i can upload it as a torrent somewhere. This may be a slow time coming as I'm rather busy these days, but I assure you'll try to get it done and will keep you updated.

Thanks!

Have you got this available yet?

Haven't forgotten about this. I just got a mac and should be able to rip video and burn DVDs soon. I will let you know when I'm able to!

If you can believe this: I have it. It is pristine, DVD quality and is in widescreen. But i only have it on one disc and....I can't find the disc. I've been looking for months. It's in my room somewhere (has to be) but I haven't found it yet. I put it in a "safe place", and you know how that often works.

Once I find it I now have the capability to edit it, make menus (i believe), and make copies. As far as I know the film has fallen into public domain now so I'll be more than happy to make copies for people. This is one of my very favorite films of the time period and I feel like anyone else who loves it should have a copy. I'll do a major cleaning and then let everyone know.

I found it!

I'm editing it a bit (just to cut out ads at the beginning and tail end) and will burn it onto discs. Anyone interested in getting a copy, just send me a PM on here and I'll get one to you!

does the final scene have the boy run across a green lawn and hold his hand with an eye on up to the camera?...I thought the house was more modern in the film/scene I am thinking of

I missed it recently when FMC ran it and was aggravated by that. So, I've been checking listings every day. Finally, it paid off, and it's airing now, letterboxed and so far not interrupted with commercials.

I find that Fox does that in the evening: air films uninterrupted. So, my timing was perfect to have a tape ready. Now, I must decide what films will share that tape. If I could, I'd want FMC to air "The Touchables" and "Making It". Someone told me that Fox showed "Privilege". How I'd love to see that film again, having not seen it since about 1971.
