    > And why have Hepburn shoot her own brother (birth brother, not adopted brother)? That seemed kind of gratuitous to me.

     

    This is a good point, and it's something that kind of bothered me a little bit when I watched the movie.

     

    The way I see it, you could interpret it as the filmmakers saying that she'd chosen sides with her family, her adopted family, and that even though she'd probably not have wanted to kill someone who was also Native American, the circumstances had put her in that unfortunate spot.

     

    Or, if you want to be a little harsher, you could see it as her character succumbing in a certain way to the certain kind of "us vs. them" mentality that she herself had been a victim of (without her life being as clearly in danger, of course).

     

    It's still not quite satisfying, either way, imho.

    > Thanks to all you folks for your willingness to help & for your info. I have ordered a region free player from Amazon along with a copy of Blithe Spirit, which they inform me is now out of print.

     

    It sounds like you have been misinformed. Amazon's US site may list it as out of print, but Amazon UK has it _in stock_, and for less than $10 USD shipped.

     

    Make sure you look it up on amazon.co.uk, not in amazon.com - here's a link:

    > Fox usually has some good stuff (the REAL classics) in the mornings and early afternoon. Aren't TCM, FMC, AMC, and other movie channels always available to satellite customers? And do they always ,or can they, limit channel access to customers from different countries?

     

    Well, no, a few carriers don't offer FMC, or offer it only with "deluxe" packages. There have been people on the boards over the years saying their cable/satellite provider doesn't offer FMC. As for the countries in which the channels are seen, I think that varies quite a bit, for example TCM is seen in other countries but the kinds of movies they offer can be quite a different in Germany, or the UK or Latin America.

     

    As for the FMC, I really don't know in how many other countries it might be available, if any, or how different its schedule might be elsewhere.
