Quite a few people have been looking for this film

This is not really a review, just some information. This film was lost for a long time. It was shown on the 4th of December 2011 in Braunston, the location where it was filmed. I understand they have had an awful time trying to find the film and to find out who the copyright holder is. I'm not sure if copyright has been resolved, but the film is still in existence and the female lead was at the showing in Braunston. I don't know if they are going to release anything, or if it is going to be shown again. There were at least two showings in Braunston which were completely sold out, I am kind of waffling now because I need to fill in ten lines of text. I hope this isn't too much of an issue for IMDb, I have only written this to give information to those searching for this long lost film.

Cheers Carl

Searching for a copy

Hello, I have recently been told that my deceased father was an extra in this film and I would desperately like to see him. I have been unable to find this film anywhere so far but feel more positive after reading Carl's review about a showing in Braunston in 2011. If anyone has a copy or knows how I could find one, please could you get in touch as it would mean so much to me.

I plan to try to contact someone in Braunston and do a bit of digging to see if I can find out where it was shown. Braunston isn't too far away from me so I could possibly go and visit and ask some questions there.

Thanks Alex.

Not brilliant but definitely watchable.

I personally enjoyed this film as I was there at the making of it. The first car I owned was in it as was my Grandfather. I would love to get a copy of this film so if anyone knows how I can obtain one please let me know.

Trivia
The film has a British setting, but is based on an American novel by Gregory Macdonald (his first, published in 1964). The presence of a Hollywood screenwriter, Hugo Butler, who had died in 1968, suggests that the project had been in the works for a long time before the film was finally made. Despite good reviews, it was a box-office failure, and has never had a video or DVD release in Britain; nor has it been televised in the UK in the last thirty years.
