Thanks for the info. I'd like to see it.
Goes back to the commie witch hunts in USA, correct? McCarthy and all that. Anyone who disagrees must be Satan. Sad. Miller was a pretty courageous guy back then for putting this out.
Still going on today though. Now it's fanatical religionists of several different beliefs: Jews, Muslims and Christians. Some new debate says humans have reached the ultimate in evolution. Looks like it's all downhill.
Thank heaven I have my sweetie, Beethoven, poetry and wine. Oh yes, a handful of old movies. A few gourmet veggie recipes as well.

... Amazon lists several used VHS ones available for $6 & new copies for $10.
I guess that sort of answers my query about popularity. If it was that much in demand it would be out on DVD.
Yes you are correct re witch hunts, McCarthyism etc. It all makes one wonder how much further "civilisation" has really progressed. Mass hysteria is so easily and more efficiently generated by the mass media these days with Hitler's mob the first to fully exploit this.
