    Glad to see Almond’s undervalued film here, distinguished especially by Bujold’s subtle and luminous performance; may we hope that you have an un-edited, non-Italian-dubbed print of their Journey (1972) up your sleeve?
    Thanks for all the rarities!

    Wow — thank you so much! I had just returned from a family vacation to the Gaspé when I heard of this release and never got to see it. Good things come to those who wait . . . and this is VERY good.
