I have been after this book for thirty years!

I bought the book in Honolulu back in early 1970. I think I read it five or six times while there. Since that time I have probably read it an additional 50-60 times. I was surprised back about 1985 to find out that the movie was available through Blockbuster. The movie has many differences as compared to the movie. I like both versions of the story and have probably watched my version of the movie on my old VHS tape upwards of probably 100 or more times.

We have the "public" royalty free version of the movie here. I cleaned up the video a bit, so it's much better than most of the VHS versions that were around.

As usual for many of these, the opening & closing credits were cut to avoid phoney copyfraud claims against the movie (people claiming false ownership, copyrights, royalties, or fees for media they really have no rights to). Without the correct title, date, & original copyright info right on the film, most of them claiming false rights to it can't even guess the correct title, year, & original copyrights.

If they can't site the correct title, year, & original copyrights, they simply don't have a case in any court, or even on youtube. If they have rights or ownership of the media, they should know the title & year of it.

That's why you see a lot of media posted by private or independent posters, with no credits or credits removed. The credits make it to easier for the frauds to make false ownership claims & demand royalties from it, or create a fake or illegitimate copyright for it, if all the info about the media is right there for them to read.
