This movie is heartwrenching, moving, funny, and unforgetable. I watched it over and over on a video cassette tape years ago. I haven't seen it in a long time and was searching Amazon.com hoping to find it. Hopefully it will be available soon.

This review is from: Melanie (1982) (VHS Tape)

My mom and I love this movie...we first saw it in the 80's on cable I am sure. I have searched for it for years, have been out bid on ebay. But finally found and purchased it on Amazon. We still love watching it now just like we did then. The soundtrack is awesome. Burton Cummings or (Rick) as we call him is fantastic both in the movie and on the soundtrack. The tape is not the best but good enough considering the age of the video. While I could find no actual soundtrack to purchase along with the movie..I did buy 2 Burton Cummings CD's so my mom and I would each have one to listen to..they have the songs from the movie on them.
