Shadow on the Land (1968 TV Movie)
9/10
Sony on the Land

Chalk me up as another view who saw this movie decades ago, and never forgot it. The parallels to the Bush regime are haunting.

Unfortunately I have it on good authority that this movie will NOT be released on DVD unless an independent company is willing to take it on, a la Shout Factory! and SCTV.

The problem is that SotL probably isn't well known enough. The potential sales are too low. On the plus side, the master film DOES still exist...and there has definitely been an increase in interest lately, thanks to Mssrs. Bush & Cheney.

It has been a long time, but I still remember the final scene, when the flag was raised...the hair on the back of my neck stood straight up. What a powerful moment!

A remake would be pretty mind-blowing, don't you think?

I'm rating it a "9", because it has been so long since I saw it. There's a lot that I don't remember.
