Looks good. Not available at Netflix, but I'll hunt it down somewhere.

John Huston-yeah.

At least not in the US. I believe it is only available in a Dutch R2 release, for which you'll need a region free DVD player that converts PAL> NTSC.
I don't know why, but this film seems to get overlooked within Huston's oevre, and it's purely wonderful. It's a damn crime it's not more readily available.
I hope Criterion or someone is bringing this out in a special edition for North America. This movie needs to be seen, a fine film by a great American filmmaker.

    Along with a few others. ;-)
    - I wasn't aware of it until I read your previous post and then looked on their site. - sjb 12:34:35 01/23/09 (0)
      But I did put my request in.
      
      Now if they would just hurry up with Waterworld.
