Rating:  - EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED
Disregard the guy who claims there is no nudity. He got an older version accidently as I did. I contacted Marengo via e-mail and they sent me the NEW UPDATED DVD. They told me that some OLDER units were still in the marketplace... and it was like herding cats to get them recalled. They gladly REPLACED my older version for free and told me they would do that for everyone who accidently gets an older verison. There IS nudity in the NEW version so beware!
I found the Boy in the Plastic Bubble to be a very good movie which I admit surprised me. It has that 70's feel... the look and music which took me back to a different era mentally which was fun... Travolta does a great job and it is interesting to see him at this very early stage in his career.
Harrad has always been a favorite film of mine and it was good to see someone bring it out in its original version. Reminded me of college... or the college I which I had gone to... Free love, goofy experiments in sexuality and the SELF-IMPORTANCE of ALL that NONSENSE... IT WAS so GROOVY to watch... yes people did hug trees...I GUESS... Wow how times have changed! Both prints are very good... and IF YOU want to go back in time this is great fun... I consider the DVD a bargain.
Rating:  - Harrad Experiment Still Censored!
Despite the claims by Marango Films that they have restored this movie and now provide the unedited version, there is still no nudity in this version. I bought the DVD and it has "unedited version" on the cover. This version is easily PG and contains no nudity.
Rating: - MARENGO FILMS UPDATING HARRAD
Marengo Films wishes to apologize to our customers. We released this version of Harrad thinking it had not been edited - this is our second try.
We had no idea how extensively the film had been cut... and we had NO INTENTION of misinforming the public... or doing some silly thing such as bait and switch.
Our current DVD does have some brief nudity. We sell mostly classic films for the family thus the warning.
All of that being said... If you like the 70's these two films will take you on a magic carpet ride... back to the days of bell bottoms, free love, and long hair... We worked hard to create this DVD for your enjoyment...
The films are 30 years old... both have the 70's look and feel... which we... find rather "groovy"... and know you will too!
WE APPREICATE YOUR BUSINESS... BEST REGARDS, MARENGO FILMS
Rating:  - Such an Enjoyable film!
I can't remeber when I first saw the Boy in the Plastic Bubble, but it had been a WHILE. The dvd quality isn't fantastic, but it was fine considering it's a TV-movie from 1976. Regardless, I really enjoyed the film and especially the lead performances by Travolta and the lovely Glynnis O'Connor(one of those great 70s actresses who doesn't work as much today, but she's so good in the movies she's in). Sure it's a cheesy story, but I just got so sucked into it. Familiar faces pop up, like that of Robert Reed, Ralph Bellamy and John Friedrich(great in THE WANDERERS). I was listening to an interview with Vincent Gallo recently, and he named this as one of his favorite films(I think that's pretty cool, but whatever he likes is cool because BUFFALO '66 is a near-masterpiece). I am sad to read that the Harrad Experiment(also on this dvd) is cut, but I still thought it was pretty funny-especially Bruno Kirby!
Rating: - No more censorship please
When I first viewed the film "Harrad Experiment" it was on VHS, the not censored version. This is kind of an underground film, typical of the 70s.
But beware, that version is cut. The film is most notoriously known for its nude scenes of actors now quite known (Don Johnson and Gregory Harrison, among others). That version contains absolutely NO nude scenes.
