Sir Anthony Hopkins performance in this movie was simply amazing. Why haven't they released this movie on DVD yet? I was only 6-years old when this film was released back in 1978 and I will NEVER forget the short, yet effective television commercial that ran briefly for this film (those of you who remember it know what I'm referring to!). It wasn't until I was nearly a teenager when I finally saw 'Magic' for the first time, but even then I didn't have the maturity to really appreciate or understand the psychology behind it all. James Hetfield, lead singer of the band 'Metallica' was so inspired by this film that he wrote a (rather disturbing) song about it called 'Sad But True.' Unfortunately, this film has been out of production in any format for quite some time now, but If you're interested in learning more about the film's content and eerie musical score (that accordian still creeps me out!) you can check out some of the VHS reviews here at Amazon (some of them are a little too revealing though, I think). I can only hope that this buried classic is one day transferred beautifully to DVD. Lets give Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ann Margret, and Burgess Meredith the respect they truly deserve for their performances and release the full, unedited, theatrical version of this film already!
