I cant thank you enough for taking the time to upload this excellent and rarely repeated movie. The last time I saw it was early 80s then I remember it being repeated like 3am one morning but my VHS failed to record it...this is the first time in over 20 years im getting to watch it. They say uploading to Youtube kills the dvd market but i disagree...watching it again on bluray or dvd would be brilliant along with any extras etc. Obviously they could interview the cast of this movie for extras.

@ace170874 - thanks for the kind words, that made my day. :) If you look in the video info under the video screen you'll see a link to the Facebook group I created for this movie. Plus, some of the actors from the movie are in the group as well and if you look in the comments for this video you'll see a comment from the actor who played Ben

I have so many wonderful memories of the 7 weeks it took to make this film. I was all of 7 years old and this cast and crew were my family away from home. 7 weeks when your 7 years old is a very, very long time and I will forever be grateful that I was a part of it. Thank you for posting this. -Peter (Ben)

OMG I was 13yrs old when i saw this movie on BBC1..........Im now 44yrs old and this is the FIRST time ive seen it since then. Thanks for uploading.....

Thanks so much for uploading this wonderful film. I think I only saw it one time; I was probably 13, but I have never forgotten it. What a delight to watch it again! I sure hope the video generates enough interest so that this treasure is put on DVD. It's as good as any Disney film of that era and a story that needs to be remembered.

Can't thankyou enough for uploading this gem of a film. Like everyone else I remember watching this film and it has never left my memory. Even now at over 50 I still cried at some of the scenes. A truly amazing film that deserves to be seen on DVD. Fantastic job WillThisLast and thanks for making my day.

My dad had just bought our first VCR while we were vacationing in Ft. Lauderdale in 1979. That evening, the family decided to watch this movie in the hotel room and test out the recording feature. We had this for years and my sister and I watched it many, many times. Til I knew the script almost by heart. Event the Dutch kids lines lol. What a joy to find this tonight. I just decided to Google the movie out of curiosity after failing to find in on Netflix. The whole movie! Thank you.

I was 8 when i saw this in 1979. As a kid without a dad I felt a deep connection to it then (especially to the character of Ben), and the movie's crossed my mind many times over the years. I never thought I'd see it again. Thank you so much for uploading it so I could CRY LIKE A DOGGONE BABY like I did 32 years ago!! :)

Thank you for posting this movie! I am 23 and first rented and saw this movie a few years ago, and I've loved it ever since! It's a movie worth putting on DVD. It is definately a film that I would love to show my children should I ever have any. Thank you sooo much!

I read this book a million times when I was growing up. The back of the book said "Now a Major Motion Picture!" but I never had a chance to see it. I just happened to come across this by accident and I'm so very glad I had a chance to see it. Thanks for posting this!
