Thanks for the superb review,It is indeed a very beautiful film and I know that you could not better it with a remake.I would love to see an official release. |

Thanks for that Fellwanderer.
I used to have an album of the book beautifully narrated by Spike Milligan with music composed and conducted by Ed Welch. It was released in the mid-seventies. Paul Gallico collaborated on the production but died just before it was released. Usual story....I lent it to somebody and never saw it again. Quite an varied and interesting author was Gallico. His film credits include: 'Pride of the Yankees - The Lou Gehrig Story' (one of Gary Cooper's best roles) 'The Clock' (touching little film with Judy Garland and Robert Walker) 'The Little Miracle' (another touching little film about a Italian boy with a sick donkey who tries to get into the Vatican in the hope of a cure...definitely should be shown around Xmas) 'The Adventures of Hiram Holliday' (wonderfully played by Wally Cox on tv in the 50's) 'Mrs 'Arris Goes to Paris' 'The Poseiden Adventure' (being remade as I type) 'The Big Operator' (Filmed in the 50's. I only ever saw this once, in the 70's. It was memorable for the performances of Mickey Rooney, convincing as a vicious thug and Steve Cochran, usually a bit of a lightweight actor, outstanding as one of his victims...I wonder if anyone has a copy?) and, of course...'The Snow Goose' |

I have to agree with you - in my opinion, any attempt at simply remaking the original in its own image would be tantamount to sacrilege. FELL A signature is no substitute for a life |

Checking for something else on IMDb just now and I noticed that the new version of The Snow Goose no longer appears which might indicate it has been shelved indefinitely. I hope so as there is only one reason I would have watched it since there is no way it would have been able to hold a candle to the original.

Should we start taking up a collection? A ransom collection? I mean, will Fellw try to steal it, and then when trying to make his escape (rooftop helicopter or maybe Harriers), will he capture the BFI vault and create some hostage-situation - "Release these films or else!"
My helicopter pilot's license is up-to-date, Fellw. Just in case you need one. You can claim I'm a political prisoner, demand my release out of Texas and I'll be there in 8 hours. Well, 9 - a woman's packing and all. Darn... if only the Concorde was still around! What countries don't have extradiction agreements with the UK? And also don't observe world copyrights? (OK OK, China doesn't observe them, but they DO claim to.) "More moo shoo, anyone?" |
