"La Jetee" was probably the most screened film print
at the school where I did my undergraduate studies,
the University of Regina (think southern Canadian
prairies, or, just north of the Dakotas).

As such, the print was in horrible shape, but us kids
couldn't get enough of it. Seems like a common
experience.
