I need to watch it again, 23 May 2004
Author: (quayevano@yahoo.com) from Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I remember watching this film way back when I was in high school as a TV special (since it was never released in movie theaters in my country).

My sister and I, as young as we were then and perhaps still idealistic and what have you, were moved to tears watching this great film. I can still remember my sister and I trying to find out the name of the actress when the credit was being shown because we were so touched by the truthfulness of her performance.

For one strange reason or another Imogen Stubbs' name really got stuck in my mind from then on, although I have never ever seen any other movie of hers after that. This movie made an impression on my young mind and has stayed with me ever since. For a couple of years now, I have been desperately trying to find a VCD or DVD copy of this movie so that I could watch it again and experience the same emotions I had back then when I was watching it with innocent eyes. But alas, I still have not found any copy.

I really would love to watch this movie again... something to help me revisit the child in me.
