Act 3 "Boheme" is the one I LISTEN to the most--and I'm hooked on the
Conlon version on Erato with Hendricks marvelous voice with the weird
accent.  The other standard versions are too milked for me.  I still
remember seeing the film's only showing in the SF Bay area one Sunday
noon.  My wife, two friends and I were among all of 10 attendees in the
old University Theater that sat over 1000.  And, as far as I know, the
film's not available in VHS or DVD in North American format.  What a
shame!
