why is this wonderful film not on dvd... tom conti gives a wonderful performance, kelly mcgillis is radiant... and the story is wonderful.... please please please somebody release a dvd

Why was this rumpled, drunken, has-been, poet so appealing to women? Two words, Dylan Thomas. Tom Conti turned in a brilliant performance based loosely on the life of a soul who refused to go gentle into that good night. I loved this film from beginning to end.

This is a great, great movie. Tom Conti is superb. Kelly McGillis is perfectly cast too. A gem of a story. I don't understand why this classic is not available on DVD.

It really saddens me that with all the JUNK on the film market these days (including most of the so called "comedies which rely chiefly on sex nudity and cheap jokes) this film has never made it to dvd. In fact, it's difficult to even track down a VHS copy. The acting, writing and everything else in this film shines (What ever happened to Tom Conti??) If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and find a copy. It's definitely a treat worth seeing.

I've been beating my chest about this seldom seen gem for years and nobody knows what I'm talking about! Tom Conti is outstanding in this and perfectly cast, Roberts Blossom, Lois Smith and of course, 1st seen, fresh & luminous Kelly McGillis is a treat! How I wish this charming yet odd piece would come out in DVD. My VHS copy is getting worn out!

Tom Conti is truly amazing in this under-rated, little-seen gem. Backed by the equally amazing Roberts Blossom (who has never given a better performance), this sweet and sad movie will keep you laughing right up to the tragic but inevitable conclusion. A Must See!

Obscure made for TV movies are on DVD and yet not this? What the h_ll? This is a FABULOUS film.

I've been waiting for years for this film to be released on DVD - or even available as a download. What is the holdup?

I am suprised that this movie has not made it's way to dvd. I used to own a vhs tape of this film (and a vhs player)with which I would watch this movie very much.

This is a great story of a poet and the life that he leads. Great Film!

I'm in agreement with everybody, why oh why isn't this film on DVD, the VHS copy I have is no good now, it is so odd that so many other stupid junk films are put to DVD yet good stories with intelligent acting are not...why is this so????
