Ari: The color DVD on this title is very good. I bought it from overseas. Very reasonable. Also I wish they would put out "Down To The Sea In Ships". I think I might as well buy a DVD-R because it fell into the public domain. I was quite moved by this film with Dean Stockwell and his grandfather Lionel Barrymore when I was a child. I was going to buy a 16mm print at one point. Best, Tom In a message dated 11/10/2008 12:39:46 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
well whats stranger is I am only 35, and I have ONLY seen this film in black and white, and it also played in rural western Australia TV each year in the 70's. I always loved it, but wished i could SEE his green hair.
