I first saw this movie many years ago when it aired on TV. It haunted me for the longest time, but it was not shown very often. A few years later, I saw that it was going to be aired again, so I taped it. I watch it now and again and am enthralled each time I see it. I wish that they would make it available on tape or DVD someday. I agree with some of the other reviews that it is a little slow paced. But, you really get to know these characters by letting the story unfold in its own time. I would include this movie in my top 10 list that I would like to own.
