I saw this movie back when it was on television and I loved it!I also like the older version.I can get that one on DVD but WHY CAN'T I GET THIS ONE ON DVD???MGM, it is time to release this movie on DVD!!!!
Rating: - My favorite movie...
Excellent, provocative.I loved it!Got me thinking for sure.I saw both this and the silver screen version.I loved this later version much better. Maybe because I could relate to the situation that was modernized some as I am from this era.The silver screen (old) version is kinda cheesy.
