Johnny Got His Gun... a good blind buy?
Okay so I just finished Dalton Trumbo's book. I thought it was excellent and would like to check out the movie. I'm aware it's only out in the U.S. on VHS. I checked all video stores and none of them had it. So, I'm thinking of purchasing the DVD on eBay. It's around $20, I believe.
Anyways, is this movie any good? How does it compare to the book? Any comments welcome!
TIA

The DVD is from Honk Hong so it is an Asian release. The U.S. VHS version is even more expensive. Hmm, I might have to check flea markets, or maybe just try and find a better deal.

Good links guys, thanks. Man, I wish Critierion would make a release for this film. The VHS is too expensive, and I don't feel like spending $30 for a asian bootleg on eBay.
