I saw this movie the year it came out. I was 19 and living in Corrales, New Mexico. It was a year after I graduated from High School in California and hit the road. The cinema is shot mostly outdoors and really captures the charm and essence of the New Mexico landscape and the flavor and culture of the rural villages. The storyline was brilliant and the actors were matched beautifully to the characters they played. It is a very funny, touching and emotional film at several levels. It is truly classic and timeless. The movie left a lasting impression on me. I think of it often over the years and how much I enjoyed it and would like to get a copy. It is a crime that Universal Studios will not release this movie to CD or video. I cannot understand it. I guess Universal feels it's too "indie" to generate any major income from commercial resale.
