Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

cchrisr20045 I remember reading this book in the second year (about 12 years old- 1976) at Secondary School and it was in a short story form.It was given to us a "Character study book" to be read class, each person reading a page. Its character analysis in the story line, of two joined by a common interest, is truly beautiful and touching, even for a 12 year old. If I remember rightly, in the book, Fritha becomes a recluse too taking on where Ryhadda left off. I am pleased to see that it is still available in its original format. I didn't realise until "wandering around" U-Tube that it had been turned in to a short serial, (I assume for TV) and apparently there is a longer film version.Don't miss it in the book-shop or Library, as it is in small copy; it may even be in the children's' section. A lovely read, even for grown ups. Search U-Tube yourselves to find the film and serialised versions.

vironpride I have always associated The Snow Goose with Christmas, as I believe one of the few times I saw it was at this time. Unfortunately, this was before the VCR came along, so it is now lost to me and everyone else who was lucky enough to have seen this masterpiece. I have read the story upon which it is based, and one of the few changes was that the injured snow goose was named, by Philip, "Le Princesse Perdue," or "The Lost Princess." In the film she is called by Frith (Jenny Agutter), "Fritha," after herself. The casting could not have been better. I must admit that I have never liked Richard Harris, but I make a very big exception here. He is brilliant beyond description, as is Jenny Agutter. I remember reading that the story caused quite a bit of controversy when it first came out, as some people thought it was unfitting for a "normal" girl to have a (you know what kind of) relationship with a deformed man. This was not stressed in the film, as I recall. In any case, the end is just heart-wrenching. Please, please, whoever has control of this gem, make it available again to all of us who remember it, and to those who will fall in love with it as we have!

mbimdb1 I personally saw this film and count it as one of my favorites, if not most memorable ones, for all the reasons cited in previous comments. It is a great loss, to one time frequent filmgoers and serious 'buffs' such as I, that it is not commercially available since it is truly a cinematic work of art. I have sought its availability ever since videos were produced after I saw it (a couple of times) at the Musee de Cinema in Brussels, Belgium, where I went to school abroad in the early '70s. I don't know if the restrictions on its viewing include the Cinematheque there, but, since the facility is a center for film preservation and art and a film school and not for general public 'commercial' viewing per se, it may still be shown every couple of years or so, especially when they do specific monthly festivals, tributes or memoria to individual film celebrities/masters at memorable times of their deaths, anniversaries of their deaths or births, or genres: viz.Canadian films, Paul Gallico, R.Harris, J.Agutter, etc. Unfortunately, the Brussels Musee, on short staff and budget was not amenable when I last was there in the early '80s to sending out their monthly bulletins or giving easily available info. on the internet.

jotheodorou I read the short story in middle school and saw the TV version as an undergraduate. I will never forget either. Now that the late, great Richard Harris has recently passed away, won't someone look into offering this on DVD or Video? I look for it each and every Christmas on PBS. Some thirty years later, it still haunts me. It will break your heart, but is so worthy of attention.I look forward to comments from other baby boomers who remember the PBS movie. A little gem of a film.
