Brilliant Geraldine Page

I really loved watching this t.v. movie. I hadn't seen it since 1967. I love the script and Geraldine Page is brilliant as the slightly dotty older cousin of Truman Capote. The ending is intensely moving. Page certainly deserved the Emmy she received for this show. It is too bad that the print is in black and white and not the colour version that was originally broadcast. Also, the sound quality is abysmal. The music screeches like a tortured cat and some of the dialogue is difficult to decipher.

I have a color copy!

I read the licensee comment. I was one who purchased a BW copy - terrible copy - from someone on e-bay. I had a color copy on VHS that I had copied from the FAMILY CHANNEL about 10 years ago. As I watched it I removed the advertisements. I have just recently made a copy on DVD. My copy is better than any copy I have seen and I don't understand why the licensee or ABC or who ever owns the rights can't get a color copy from the FAMILY CHANNEL ( which is no longer the FAMILY CHANNEL - Is it TBS now?) or some PBS channel which also use to show the film around Christmas time!Maybe ABC could restore it to its original form. My copy is excellent compared to others I have seen but certainly not a restored copy type version.

Wonderful, endearing film

I own this film on VHS. It is a wonderful story and Geraldine Page does her always terrific job. The quality of the tape is not very good. Hopefully the quality is better on DVD. I highly recommend it. It will leave you crying at the end.
