mrmoleandhisfriends What a relief to find I'm not the only person on whom 'The Snow Goose' had such deep and lasting impact. It's quite simply one of the best films ever made and the importance of its availability cannot be overestimated. This is one of the few movies which can, literally, change lives, and yet seems to be the one thing unavailable. While I esteem Mr. Gallico immensely for writing such a magnificent story and screenplay (who wouldn't?), one can't help but question why he would have written the screenplay did he not wish a filmed version to be created for posterity. To the marrow of my bones I believe the re-releasing of his movie would be honouring Gallico's memory. This is honestly a sort of crusade as far as I'm concerned. It goes far beyond just wanting a copy for myself (though, of course, I do!). 'The Snow Goose' should be a gift to the world: like air, water, beauty, and grace, available to all. Perhaps if enough of us join together and petition Hallmark, the Beeb, Gallico's estate, etc., we could save this splendid creature. Individuals joining together over something worth a struggle can have remarkable results ... Just an update to let everyone know I've started a facebook group, 'Fans of The Snow Goose,' hope you'll give it a look. It's really boring now because I'm actually the only member! Sorry!

mjtretton The Snow Goose is one of the most moving films about the relationships between birds and man ever made. The film was made on the Blackwater in Essex, at the sea wall near and around Osea Road,( which leads to Osea Island). My wife's family owned a caravan close to where the film would have been shot since the 1950's, and my wife grew up spending a lot of her childhood in the area that the film so beautifully depicts. We no longer own a caravan there but would love to see the film again.The atmosphere in the film reflects the magic of the Blackwater. The honking geese are still part of the landscape,although the snow goose would be a very rare visitor. All the cast portray the essence of the local people and make them real.Please help us to see this wonderful film again.

Akclegs Though it's been years since this last aired i can still FEEL the haunting theme song and the spray of the sea - and the tears i shed watching this film! Richard Harris and Jenny Agutter are wonderful and perfect in these roles. I hope Hallmark one day will see fit to re-air it or release it in some format for purchase. I look vainly each week when the TV listings come out, just in case.Few books are translated well on screen - this film version is a true "better than" candidate!

Fannygirl Those of us who were fortunate to have seen this made-for-television production from the Hallmark Hall of Fame have never forgotten it and continue to hope that someone, somehow will find a way to make it available on DVD or video. My understanding is that Mr. Gallico specified in his Will that it was not to be made commercially available, but why he would do such a thing is beyond me! He wrote both the book and the screenplay and the final product was an exquisite use of the medium. Richard Harris has never given a better performance in his career, indeed, all the fuss about his appearance in the Harry Potter movies only reminds me that this wonderful performance is virtually unknown to most people. It is not an exaggeration to say that you cannot watch this film and come away unmoved.
