The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Like many of you (us), I saw this movie only once. This is a movie one only has to see once, so potent and impressive is it's memory. My heart comes alive as I write this, over forty years later. Being somewhat of an "outsider" or, as David Bowie put it "other-worldly person", I finally made friends with myself after watching the Snow Goose. This movie showed me that often, nobility and popularity are disparate, and that sometimes, one must choose one or the other. It showed me that a good heart is not always rewarded, but that we must continue to believe in ourselves. It showed me that if we do, after long while, there is some reciprocation. This movies is about thinking for ourselves: Developing our own code of ethics, regardless of how it is interpreted by some others. I have recalled the image of Rhyader often, whilst enduring isolation and misunderstanding by others, and have taken great solace in his patience and faith.

This was my very favorite movie as a young kid. It had something to do with making me a lifelong bird watcher. Awesome movie.It is a beautiful story to share with children. It has a strong message about tenderness, love and appreciation for all God's creation. I have found that there are many of us out there who still remember this film. I hope someday Hallmark can settle the legal issues with the author's estate so they can release this on DVD for future generations to love.Watching Richard Harris in this is a real lesson in acting. Wow, it's one of his best roles I think. And the scenery along the Essex coast is haunting and beautiful.One note: Lots of people are looking for a copy of this, but they are hard to find. I just got a copy of this movie dubbed from an old video tape someone made when it aired on TV. Here is not the place to give you all the details. Go to the message boards under the thread "I have The Snow Goose" for details.

This 1971 Hallmark Hall of Fame television production was a priceless gift to those viewers lucky enough to have seen it. The program was run at least twice in the '70s but is now "lost" to the public --- no VHS, no DVD. What a shame. The values that Gallico's story presents are timeless, and Richard Harris and Jenny Agutter were never better. And wrenching? I remember well a room full of adults, men and women alike, sobbing at the conclusion of the program. Folks, THAT"S what a great film is all about.Other Hallmark productions can be seen on VHS or DVD, but not "The Snow Goose." If only Hallmark would "care enough to send the very best" back to us.

It was in June 1972 when this movie was shown on German TV entitled as: Schneegans! I just found out who was the writer of the movie minutes ago after 30 years! I had absolutely no idea who made the movie and in which country it was produced. My god the picture had such a great impact on my little soul, I was just 4 years old, and was watching it with my mother, that until now this movie is the most important in my life! Not only did my mother mention it in her diary, as we both were crying and I just could not recover after the movie, so exciting was this picture, but now I found out, that Rhayader was played by Richard Harris, one of my most favourite actors! This Picture is so full of true love, mystery and devotion, it makes a human being very sensitive for the relationship of humans and animals, that I recommend this picture to all teachers as a lesson on this terms.If a BBC Official is reading this, please reconsider the Will of Gallico and try to obtain the rights for a reissue on DVD (with the Screenplay as a Bonus!) As this movie was not repeated in our Country either (to my knowledge!) since it first aired and after reading all this similar entries I m sure he would reconsider it himself.
