Featured review
I found this film after 30 yrs of searching
I watched this film as a 5 yr old and as i grew up i thought i'd dreamt it yrs ago,it had so affected me, and as an adult i tried to find it and like so many others i didn't no what it was called. so i searched for it for about a year and was so happy when found it, i was 38, so my search was finally over,i bought it from a south African shop thru the internet,it was quite good as i had to pay in rands and i had never done that before . it was on video and i couldn't wait for it to arrive, i think you can now but it on DVD,it was totally weird watching it as an adult and i loved it so much i watched it twice...back to back. i am so glad i am not the only person who was thoroughly affected by this film ... my daddy loves he'll come and find me ( that sentence still sends shivers thru me) thanks ... and it was doubled with oliver twist ...
