It was rated PG and *is* available on laserdisc (with shower scene in tact)..I've owned it for several years now. I too saw it on HBO back around 84 and was mesmerized. In a way it is alot like "Babe" A delightful reunion with that inner child we thought we lost along the way . This is an overlooked Classic (and I'm thrilled to see it has such a following.) Hopefully this will coax Mr. Lucas to begin opening his repetiore to a longing DVD audience. *I* for one, will repurchase it.
