Hi all
Thanks to help from people on this forum I know alot more about this film So...
does anyone have a lead on a video of it?
The fact that there was a Tv guide review gives me hope it survived.
I am in the Uk but if it comes to it I could get another format converted.
Thanks
G.M.

Hi G.M.
I only have two suggestions--if it's anything to do with Michael Powell(or Pressburger)ask Steve Crook,I don't think there's anyone on the planet who knows more about them! Or, ask Aphra,she must have the greatest collection of films outside the BFI !!Good luck! thumbs_u

G.M./quote]Michael Powell didn't have much involvement in it. He appeared in it in a bit part as "Man" :)
He did often perform small (often comedic) parts in some of the early films he worked on.

Those TV guide reviews are sometimes just taken from other sources like trade or fan magazines when the film was originally released. I don't think they can be taken as a guarantee that it has ever been shown on TV.

I don't know of any copies that still exist but I've never seen any mention of it being still around anywhere.
