This is an excellent film - just the right mix of humor, fun, drama, and intensity. I have several copies of the VHS version and have been looking for the DVD...but no. It boggles the mind that so much trash is churned out on DVD, yet good entertainment like "A Midwinter's Tale" is consigned to VHS. Go figure. Please release this on DVD.

This movie was recommended to me in discussion forum that I belong to. As soon as I rented and saw it, I knew I had to buy a copy for myself. Anyone who has ever been involved with amateur theatrics--and even those who don't--will identify with this warm and human story about a group of flawed actors trying to put on a cut rate production of Hamlet--as a Christmas fundraiser, no less. The story is by turns humorous and poignant and the ensemble cast is fantastic. I really can't say enough good things about ... Read More
