I have yet to see SOLDIER IN THE RAIN all the way through. The PBS station showed it here a week or two ago and I watched the first few minutes. I've also caught bits of it on TCM or whatever in the past, and was intrigued enough to order it on a Warner Archives disc. But have I watched it? No, but I can tell you the transfer is very weird, and not at all pleasant to sit through -- it's an old video master of some kind, and needs to be done over. Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about here, but someone on HTF explained what the deal was some time ago and that's the general gist of it. General Gist. He's a character in my hilarious new Cold War play that's about to open on Broadway.
