Old_Boots 10 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Fellow "Old-Timers, The film "FOLLOW ME, BOYS" has finally been released on DVD. The disc has interviews with the boys from the film. One actually was a Scout at the time the film was made. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites
starwolfmom 10 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I LOVE that movie! I remember watching it as a kid, and I've never forgotten it. I'll have to buy a copy to share it with my boys. I hope they like it as much as I did. I know that they enjoyed my favorite Boy Scout fiction book--Follow My Leader, by James Garfield. It's about a Boy Scout who is blinded in a firecracker accident and gets a guide dog. It culminates with him going on a campout with his troop along with the dog. It was a little dated (written back in 1958), but the boys thought it was terrific. StarWolfMom Link to post Share on other sites
OneHour 11 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 We have somewhat of a prelim review of the DVD on the thread: Follow Me Boys out on DVD!!. I have seen that DVD three times already, once with my sons. They got turned off at first because it was in b&w, but my oldest enjoyed it the rest of the way. I'm contemplating on showing it at one of the troop's lock-ins as the movie matinee. It still brings tears to my eyes. The great thing about DVD is that I don't have to worry about it stretches on me! 1Hour(This message has been edited by OneHour) Link to post Share on other sites
Aardvark 10 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Actually, it's been out for 3-4 months now! Almost worn out my DVD already! Wal Mart has it.. Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Boots 10 Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Thanks ONE HOUR and AARDVARK, I thought I had something new to offer. I enjoyed reading the earlier thread on the film. I never found it on VHS, missed it somehow. I have an original poster, (one-sheet) from the movie. I was a theater projectionist in earlier days. I also found the set of SM Handbooks like the ones Lems uses in the film at a flea market years ago. I say "set" because there were two volumes. Oh, to be a TIME-TRAVELER, instead of just ancient!
