The Three Lives of Thomasina
I walked past the telly and heard the name Thomasina, and got one of those flash back, Black and White movie, a little girl late one night chasing her cat that leapt out the window...... does anyone remember this movie??
Apparently its not available here in Australia, I'd so love a copy......
its on Amazon, does anyone know about amazon??
One night, Thomasina runs off and doesn't return. Mary finds the cat hurt badly and brings Thomasina to her father, who promises to save her, even though he's in the midst of dramatic efforts to save a blind man's seeing eye dog. Like many others before, McDhui declares his daughter's cat a hopeless case, and has her put to sleep.
To say Mary takes the loss of her cat companion with difficulty is a great understatement. Though the youngsters of the neighborhood honor Thomasina with a proper ceremony complete with bagpipes and song, Mary feels all alone and she proclaims her father is dead.
Fed up with McDhui's readiness to put sick animals to sleep, Geordie's friends set out to put him out of business by passing along word of what he's done, even to his own daughter's pet. With his daughter not speaking to him and the neighborhood weary of his practice, Andrew McDhui is at a loss.
The Reverend Angus Peddie (Laurence Naismith), unable to comfort Mary, recommends that her father goes to see the 'witch' that folks are turning to in spite of his science-based veterinary. His hope, as is McDhui's, is that something can be done to make things right again.

No problems here with purchasing from Amazon.com just make sure to check out a few technical details first.
Is your DVD player multizone? ie can it play DVDs from other regions like the USA.
Also is your TV and DVD player NTSC compatible? If you are buying the movie in VHS then your video player needs to be NTSC compatible. If you are not sure then try to buy the movie through http://amazon.co.uk/ as the UK uses PAL format like we do here in Oz.
Good luck and enjoy your movie purchase :grin.
