I was 7 years old and living right on the river in Shadyside, Ohio when this was being shot. I remember them shooting at night and seeing the lighting across the river on the tracks, and hearing the terrific whistle of the train that would occasionally wake me up in the middle of the night. A terrific memory, and a terrific movie.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Stewart when he was filming FOOLS' PARADE near my home town of Wheeling, W.Va in 1970.

He was one of the finest gentlemen I've ever met. There are few actors of his caliber today.

Dag-nabit, why ain't there a DVD of this?

[fastmail55]

Where, if at all, can at least a VHS copy of this film be found?  Always thought the film, and the book, were classics.
