My involvement was the public showing Tues. February 9th 1988, in Glassworkers Union Hall, Ottawa IL (my birth town). It was on 16mm film, multiple reels & I still own the projectors we used .. set up the event on a 9' wide white paper roll of portable photo background .. I have no pictures of show, but remember Carole catching a stand that was starting to fall by crowd push after the showing, thwarting disaster. I was Carole's driver and spent a couple days visiting in the area, before driving her to St. Louis MO for a tv gig .. pictures of this time I'll try & post into imdb: Carole, the show flyer, Carole & Marie Rossiter (who film is dedicated to), WCMY Radio talk show w/Dan Parker.

My vhs copy is via Cinemax shown July 14th 1988 6pm on then Sammons Communication Cable, runs 1h_45m.

I also read the book, saw the movie on the big screen, have the soundtrack and got the VHS tape, which I watched again today. So I like the movie. I'm visiting the web today looking for a dvd release. Watching the movie in post 9/11/01 days - it has a renewed interest for me, as our days here on earth are again in question with world activities growing graver. As a photographer I like big screen and small screen movies that are picturesque. So "Dances with Wolves" is another favorite. I also like movies that move me, even to tears (that doesn't bother me), which this movie does, so "Old Yeller" is another favorite and this database hit the mark on what else I might like. I play piano and trumpet in band and have an appreciation for the instrumentation this movie soundtrack offers. I am Christian and the vocal soundtrack gets you thinking of this life and the afterlife. I enjoy Neil Diamond as a vocalist. I give the movie a rating of 9 out of 10. Nothing is perfect. In closing I was hoping to see this movie re-released soon on the big screen - or at least dvd - but with the comments in this database - I don't see an executive taking an option on that.
