I am old enough to remember how excited people were when NBC (think) showed it on Saturday Night At the Movies.

Years later I read the book. This happened after my grandson, a beautiful interracial young man, in the 7th grade gave me a DVD of the movie for Christmas. He thought I would be thrilled.

I am asked him how he even knew about this movie. He said they were studying it in theater class as an example of theatrical excellence and technology.

I was disturbed by this & still am but I didn’t disparage his gift. Kept the movie for years. Never watched it & finally got rid of it.
