But I believe the LP was not available in the UK and that there was some kind of copyright problem, so my Mum got a friend who was visiting America to bring her a copy back.Judyhttp://movieclassics.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067902550504189621.post-36506490991981853922011-01-30T10:33:11.968+00:002011-01-30T10:33:11.968+00:00Judy, why did the LP had to be smuggled into the U...Judy, why did the LP had to be smuggled into the UK?

Having said that, it is a great film and I would love the chance to see it on the big screen - I've managed to see a few classics in that way recently and agree with you that you gain a lot compared with watching on TV. Really enjoyed your review.Judyhttp://movieclassics.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067902550504189621.post-65566496156345763232011-01-20T21:53:42.148+00:002011-01-20T21:53:42.148+00:00Very interesting discussion of the film.
