First, I think if a business decision is made to re-make a classic 50's sci-fi movie the first rule should be, "We take the BEST elements from the original and keep them intact, loyal to the original." In this version the only elements left intact were some of the character names. The heart of the original was removed for the sake of whatever "new vision" the writers and director had.
I'll keep it short as many have echoed my feelings. I will say to those true film fans that are reading this, see the original 1951 version. Be aware that the SFX are minimal in this version. It wasn't about the SFX, the new unimproved version is about SFX. And that's a shame. This is a wasted effort.

If you've found your way to these comments then know that you've found in me a true fan of this film. I got here in an attempt to find a source for buying this film. Alas, it was not to be! The 1971 movie features great dramatic performances by James Stewart, Strother Martin, George Kennedy and Kurt Russell. It's a pretty fair example of a road movie that features, I believe, West Virginia as a backdrop in the mid 1930's. It's great entertainment, fun, exciting and suspenseful, too.
Hopefully it will be available someday. I believe it could be productively marketed as a rather important DVD release considering the cast and over all quality of the movie.
So it's now 13 months after I've originally posted and the question is, When is this movie going to be released on video/DVD?
