    Thank you for clarifying that. If I could stay off topic just for a moment, I’d like your opinion about something else regarding the film. I forget when I first saw the movie, and I think I’ve seen it maybe twice. The weirdest thing to me about that film is that it was a big movie with a lot of publicity based on a huge best-selling novel, and yet it seemed to be cast with TV instead of film personalities. Although Patty Duke of course had her most famous role as Helen Keller in films before she became the star of a situation comedy, it seems like everyone else in the movie, except for Susan Hayward, were second string TV stars. Paul Burke, Barbara Parkins, Lee Grant. Although I you couldn’t say that about the tragic Sharon Tate, I found it odd that a movie with that kind of build up was cast in that way. I’m curious about your opinion on that since you seem to know the film so well. Thanks.
    Kenneth and Sansradio, I butt in for a brief moment and will fully accept factual correction. I believe that VOtD was indeed planned as a high-profile but low-budget film. Back to you two and best always -

    Admittedly, I have only seen it on television but to me it has the look and feel of a made for TV movie.

    The last few weeks' have been really quite interesting, seeing the huge promotional campaign for this new release, and added to this, the record label has been selling the CD for £5.99 - to really boosting the sales.

    It's "sponsored" on Amazon too - so it appears regularly to remind those who haven't bought it to buy it.

    I was tempted to buy it, but now that I've heard all the tracks, I really don't think I'd play it, so I will let others buy it who will appreciate this release.
