Moment to Moment (1966)
A rare gem
Now at 53, I seem to belong to days of 'The Night of Iguana, Splendour in the Grass, Moment to Moment, Becket, A Lion in Winter, The Guns of Navarone, Zorba the Greek, Z and Les Misrables `The Miserables..'.. I watched Moment to Moment, in Sudan `in its good old days' when I was a medical student, in the `Coliseum', a movie house within a short distance walk from the college dorms I think in 1966 or 67. My judgment: It is a rare gem. The violin piece of music, the flying doves reflecting the blushing sunset hue could not be forgotten.. That I liked most.. The list above is haunting me: I searched for video tapes, for these films from London HMV to JFK free shop, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Calgary, Montreal, Manila, Paris, Brussels and most of the European capitals, during international conferences, in vain.. I have visited the French Riviera where I think some of the footage were taken.. Can anybody help me finding a place or a site where I can get these masterpieces in any form i.e digital or analog? Since I play violin, I also searched for the audio tracks of 'Moment to Moment' without success. I got fed up from watching cobs, gangsters and drug dealers killing each other. I watch some classic movie channels and yet again without any syccess. Is Hollywood suffering from the consequences of the prevailing 'Violence culture' or that I am as out of date as bow and arrow?
I look forward for the readers' help and advice.. And thank you in advance..
