I wish we could have gotten it before Dean Stockwell passed away but at least we are finally getting it.

Anything Dean Stockwell is always good.

THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR (1948)
Run Time: 82:00
Subtitles: English SDH
Audio Specs: DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English
Aspect Ratio: 16x9 1.37:1 with Side Mattes

Disc Configuration: BD 50
Special Features: Classic short subject “A Really Important Person” (with Dean Stockwell), Original Theatrical Trailer

Cast: Pat O’Brien, Robert Ryan, Barbara Hale, and Dean Stockwell as “the boy”

Made in the hopeful post-World War II era that produced such classics of social conscience as The Search and Intruder in the Dust, this provocative film is a fable for its time -- and ours. It tells the supernatural-tinged story of an orphan who finds a safe haven in small-town America until the day his hair turns green. Then the townfolk turn against him, frightened by the change they cannot understand. A call for tolerance, an inspiring statement that "different" doesn't mean "threatening," The Boy with Green Hair boasts a fine cast (Robert Ryan, Pat O'Brien, Dean Stockwell), a popular theme song (Nature Boy) and the feature-film debut of director Joseph Losey (The Servant, The Go-Between).

Ashamed to say I've never seen this though it's been on my list to check out for years. This sounds like a great opportunity to do so.

Never heard of this one.

This film is a gem. If anyone hasn't seen I'd seriously consider a blind-buy.

Holy sh*t the boy is Dean Stockwell?! I didn't know he was a child actor. I will definitely have to blind buy this.

Not sure why it ballooned above the MSRP but is currently back down to $20 right now.

Just watched my Blu-ray. Beautiful film. The message is wonderful and still so relevant today. Never realized Dean Stockwell was a child actor. Another wonderful gem from Warner Archive.

Eschenpod · 07-13-2023, 02:45 AM

Now $14.49 on Amazon.

Twilight62 · 07-30-2023, 08:38 PM

This was a blind buy for me. Trust me, I didn't regret it. Wonderful film that I can't believe I'd never seen before. However I'm glad I hadn't, because it made this purchase all that much more enjoyable.

I saw this as a kid but we only had a B&W TV then. Perhaps I should pick up a copy of this disc and finally see the film in color.
