That's great that your kids watch old movies. I know that one day, my kids will be raised on old movies :)

im 18 now, and when i was younger, i used to think the past was actually black and white and moved fast paced like in the beginning. lol

I saw this moving film at the Sundance Film Festival in 1989—so many years ago. The presenters had recently discovered it, cleaned it up, and commissioned David Newman to write an original score for it. He conducted the Utah Symphony to play the world premiere live along with the film. What a wonderful, indelible experience! I would love to see this film with live performance again someday.
