Thanks for the kind words!  I have to admit to smiling with
pleasure at the idea that someone is enjoying the fruits of
our labors.

I thought a word of explanation would be in order as to why
there is no option for viewing the movie straight through
rather than just scene-by-scene.  This decision was based on
our licensing agreement (the intellectual property question
rears its head again!!), which gives us permission to
produce "interactive software" and not a conventional movie
release.  The disc really is designed for language learning
rather than for a normal movie viewing, so we understand
Ed's desire for a version that can be viewed as one would
other films.  I regret that I do not know where such a
version can be obtained. I can assure you that we will seek
broader rights in the future, but even the longest voyage
begins by one small step.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi,
We have the wonderful DVD of <<C'eravamo tanto amati>> from
BYU, but now
we are looking for a version of the film w/out chapters to
complement the
DVD so that students can simply watch it through in a
sitting as well as
using the DVD to critically examine it. (It's a great tool.)
Facets tells me that it is OOP (new web acronym on my part.
Ursula -
please include in glossary.) Other distribs say the same. I
have found
other supposedly out of print
vids in the past by posting here. Any knowledge of its
existence elswhere?
Say I wanted to check a distributor in Italy - any thoughts
about whom to
call? (Lost my Cinecitta credentials *grin*)
Cheers,
Ed Dente
