One of the best books i've ever read and therefore the Paul Newman/Henry Fonda movie is still worth watching. Has this ever, or will this ever, be released on DVD?

Never seen the movie, but I'm sticking ot the book. One of the best I've ever read, but there is so much there that I just can imagine made it inot the film.

Only 1 way to find out rent or buy a used one at amazon or half.com, I bought a Wild Geese 2 clamshell case, it's from OOP Thorn-BMI for $1.49. Media mail add $2.49, about $6 from a movie theater ticket go for it , you might be pleasantly surprised.
