Several of my friends have seen 'The Witness' from Hungarian director
Be'la Bacso', while visiting Hungary. The movie is a sharp satire about
life and justice during the 50's in Hungary - the acme of the communist
personal cult there . They would like to show the movie to their friends
in the USA, and we would like to know if this film is available either in
English or with English subtitles in VHS format.
Thanks,
Gotthard

Excellent,
thanks Ivan. My friends have tried at Blockbuster and some other larger
video rentals around D.C.,also, at Tower records/video and at the
Border's book chain - they were unsuccessful. This will give them some
hope :)
Take care,
Gotthard

Howdy, I suspect that you could rent this video from Facets
Multimedia. I know of one company that specializes in Hungarian movies,
documentaries and special interest videos: MAGYAR NAPLO, video dept.,
P.O.Box 822, Daytona Beach FL 32115, catalog: free.
