I would pay dearly for a copy of this movie or to just see it again!, 15 April 2004
Author: Ffloydew-1 (Ffloydew@msn.com) from Palm Harbor, Florida USA

This is one of the great classics, and sadly no one can find a copy. I remember the scenes of the old Oglethorpe Hotel in Brunswick, Georgia and the lovely scenes of Sea Island, Georgia and St. Simons Island, Georgia. How can I forget that 1955 Thunderbird...AHHHHHH. If anyone really cares, the UK version is called "Secret Interlude". I did find a dealer with the film in 8mm, but he said it was partially destroyed. Such a pity, for such a classic to leave no trace in the world. But, I will still be looking for it.
