Linda and Vicki...

The film was produced and distributed by a company called Modern
Talking Picture Service. The best address I could find for them is
5000 Park St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33709. (813) 541-7571, (813)
541-6661. Not sure if this address is still good.

There is also a company of the same name in Washington, DC, which may
or may not be related. Their address is 711 4th St, Washington, DC
20001, (202) 659-9234.

Perhaps these leads will help you track down a copy. The only library
I could find with a copy is the Library of Congress, but I think
you'll have a rather difficult time checking it out from there!

Good luck with your hunt.

...James
