I am still trying to figure that out. Outstanding, pitch perfect performances from every cast member. Script and direction as graceful as if Mary Webb herself were doing it. Stunning. Yet not only is there still no dvd, every time someone puts this masterpiece up on you tube, it gets yanked down. Why? Why not let a new generation discover Mary Webb's genius and the fine work of several of the best actors of their time?

The overall look of the film is good, actors are consistent and both sound and photography are better than films with such a small budget usually are. Pace and timing are its main failings but I think the local audiences were probably willing to overlook that.
