I remember seeing the movie back in the 50's.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I think there was a modern remake of the movie.  Which did you see?  Video could have been the remake or a copy of the original.

No idea.  It was long ago.  I think I also remember a book.

There was also a three disk (if memory serves) record album, done in the 1970s or 1980s. I've got it around here, someplace.

On CD here. Narrated by Richard Burton.
I recommend it highly.
(I posted the wrong link earlier. If you clicked on that version, I know nothing about it.)
