Faithfully restored by Fountain Rock Films and Pet Car Productions, Allen DeWitt's 1965 "classic" meditation on sorrow and tourism returns to the silver screen.
The Founders Remorse, was hailed as pornographic tripe by DeWitt's contemporaries leading one critic to literarily get up and leave the cinema 8 seconds into the piece.
Released, originally, through DeWitt's own The Curious Company the film was a commercial failure, many attributed this to it's running time 87 minutes under the standard for a feature film. Puzzled by the response to his "only true work" DeWitt released his production house to public auction sold to hat maker in 1967 and with that DeWitt retired to roaming obscurity.
Refined sense of humour.
