Please release the early Martin Sheen classic on DVD in the not so distant future!Thanks!

In this early 1970's movie that's in the same spirit of"Tennessee Williams" directed by Clyde Ware is a rather haunting tale starring a young Martin Sheen portraying Bluff Jackson as a Footloose,smooth talking drifter going into an isolated mountainside home in West Virginia(filmed on location in Doddridge County WV near the town of West Union)where there lives a 130 year old civil war veteran along with his 2 beautiful,blonde naive,virginal great,great,great grandaughters who have never been kissed, living in an isolated 19th Century lifestyle and how Bluff(Sheen) dramatically alters their lives.This is a little known but brilliantly acted gem of a movie.It's a fascinating,nostalgic must see film especially for Martin Sheen fans!!

Knowing Clyde Ware and having worked on plays of his, I was happy to see his one act play turned into a film starring his wife, Davey Davison. An unusual film, around a recluse family in rural West Virginia, the homeplace of Mr. Ware, it has an interesting story line and nice work from all of the cast.
