i have see the biscuit eater ( 1940 ) on television and it have be one of my favorite film . have not see it in a long time and would like to have a copy of this film . if you know how i can get a copy let me know ( marthasjordan @ aol . com ) please . this be a picture for all age to see . it have a wonderful lesson on life . what good story to tell about than a boy his good friend and their dog . i have see the remake of this film the 1972 color version and it be just not the same a the original 1940 black and white version . the 1940 version take you really back into the era of when the story be take place and you can go there with the boy and their dog . this movie should really be one of the all time great classic movie .
