Ok -- the film....

Made in Oslo Norway 1970. Black and white with English dialogue.

Since I hadn't read the book, I can't make that comparison, but it certainly holds its own despite being 30 years old. I expected the effect would be lessened as I, also am 30 years older and supposedly more "worldly" in my outlook.

I found that the only loss from the film I saw 30 years ago was caused by my watching it on a small screen(my 32' tv) versus a large movie screen viewing. This lessened some of the impact on some of the outdoor scenes diminishing the apparent isolation on the Siberian landscape.

It was nice to see the film again after all this time.

By the way, there was also an 800 number for a catalogue if you were interested 1-800-4-HOME-TV.

Thanks, Victor, for reminding me about the film.
