Great actors and a good, underdog plot
Faye Dunaway plays Lena, a female Oklahoma wildcatter during the Great Depression. Along with a maginally helpful, drunkard of a hired man (The only help she can afford), and her not-much-help father, she struggles against prejudice, being flat broke, sabatoge, and a deadly villan in her attempt to bring in a producing well. No ERA, Equal Opportunity Employment, or feminista BS here. Lena doesn't need them. This woman has the competitive guts, courage, and determination any man would be proud to exhibit.
Saw this film when released in the early 70s. Sure wish they'd bring it out on DVD.
Great movie, good packaging and excellent video & audio quality
There are some that resist this type of media (on-demand DVD burn), but I have to tell you they are professionally recorded and use the same master and quality of reproduction equipment as prepackaged retail products. These DVD's are authorized by the content owner and they supply the master.
I love this film and was so pleased to see it made available. The video and audio quality is excellent and the DVD packaging is as good as most single DVD retail product. This is not the burn-on-my-DVD-player quality you may have purchased before from 3rd parties.
If you love this film, buy it . . . you will be very pleased. My guess is that you'll see the on-demand DVD burn delivery method used more and more for this type of older film with a smaller following.
Should absolutely be a DVD release
Saw this movie once in my life, when I was a 12 year old boy. Dunuways performance as women`s lib fighter in a gastly men`s word is great. And then there`s Mancini`s music that keeps haunting your mind. i can still hum the main tune, but never saw the film a second time. Afer more then 35 years!!!!!I do not understand why this is not yet a DVD release.
