Budget for the movie was 7 Million Dollars, which was rather low even at that time, the film was a flop.

Running time about 90 minutes plus.

Reviews were mixed, in movie guards it got an "average" ranking.

"Late In The Evening" went top ten before the movie came out, contrary to "Mrs. Robinson", which wasn`t even recorded in the movie.

I guess one must be a fan of Paul Simon`s works, to appreciate the movie and the sophistication and complexity of the music that he conjures.

I really Love the literary and poetic words that he carves in his lyrics (60s & 70s) that intertwine so effortlessly.

It just makes me wish that I could be in that era to witness his creation of such fine crafts of music

Nice!

Belle from Singapore, Jeanette from the US and Klausi from Germany have a written conversation about Paul Simon "on the very same day" (Gumboots). I guess Jeanette is sleeping meanwhile...

I´d Love to have this on DVD or video too, but unfortunately it´s not available anywhere obviously. I only have an Old copy recorded from TV in the 80s which I have watched so many times that the tape is quite worn out. It won´t help much though if it gets re-released in the USA, because it´ll have the wrong format to be played here in Germany.

Hi Kerstin, if you send me an e-mail with your adress I will send you a DVD-copy made of a VHS-tape of the german version, not perfect, but probably better than yours.

I got a VHS copy from Amazon.com. I really liked the movie and wish it was available on DVD. I also wish his 1991 concert in Central Park and the documentary "Born At The Right Time" were on DVD.I don´t even have a VCR anymore.

I got a new copy from Amazon - still sealed when it arrived. It is NTSC but all modern VCRs play NTSC tapes. If you haven´t got an NTSC compatible VCR, you can buy them in Asda for about £30.

Better still buy a VCR/DVD recorder for just over £100 and you can turn all your VHS tapes into DVDs.

It was up on Google Video for 10 minutes before it was removed, fortuanatly that was the length of time it took to download. :) I thought that the movie could have used a better ending myself. Look it up on imdb.com. There are some reviews there. I have it on my computer, but can´t upload it anywhere. (Illegal.)
