Anyone else seen this classic from 1957?

Hasn't aged a bit. Scary.

How the hell did you see it? Its not available here, or so I thought? If I could find it I'd have anniversary gift sewn up for the rest of my natural life!

Hang on, why's it got John Laws in it?

I recall SBS screened it a few years back along with a handfull of other Kazan films of the era.

Good movie...just a pity Andy Griffiths dribbled his career away in mush like Mayberry and Matlock.

Interesting and rather cryptic statement made by Laws yesterday - "At the end of all this it won't just be the truth that is outed".

Hmmmmm;)

I don't think this old Amstrad double-decker video player can handle it, unfortunately. :(

Tis' a shame, as I could probably run you a copy from an NTSC original I have access to.

hard to fathom why it never received a vid release here of any sort though.

Mobbs you could buy a DVD player for about $70 these days.

Maybe could compensate you for running me an NTSC copy, and then I could flick something to someone else who can cut from video to DVD? I think some people have those now, right?
