    Dear Madam, Sir,

    I live in The Netherlands and in 1989 I saw the first tv-screening of this lovely and poignant story. I've read it time and time again since.

    Would you happen to know if this film is available on DVD (even VHS will help) to quench my thirst for seeing it once again?

    I'm so eager I'm even comtemplating coming over to England on one of the days TCM is airing the movie....

    Hoping to hear from you,

    and with kind regards,

    Christa van Eijk

    Hilversum, The netherlands
