Donald Liebenson’s superb article “Should ‘dated’ films see the light of today?” has been printed in today’s L.A. Times. Donald spent a great deal of time on this article, and it shows. Among those he interviewed were Ruth Warrick, Leonard Maltin, Clarence Page, Diane Disney Miller, and myself (all of whom support the film’s release). He mentions both my web site and James McKimson’s UncleRemusPages.com and his petition.
Located in the Calendar section of the paper, the printed article also includes two publicity shots from the film, one large live action photo with James Baskett, Glenn Leedy, and Bobby Driscoll, and the other photo animated, showing Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby.
I want to personally thank Mr. Liebenson for his hard work on this article; he has done a great service both to supporters and to the movie itself. Thank you!
