<br>
That's fascinating! <br>

There is a Sri Lankan DVD, where it's sold under the name <span
style="font-style: italic;">Baddegama</span>. You can see a YouTube clip
via the website of the distributor:

in Florida on a family vacation, and have spent the bulk of my time not
on the beach, but in some of the amazing bookstores in Sarasota. While
at one, the owner, upon learning that I'm also a sci-fi junkie as well
as a Woolfian, took me into the back room and showed me some handwritten
letters by J. R. R. Tolkien, Frank Herbert, and Arthur C. Clarke.
(This, after having seen Woolf's diaries in the Berg a few weeks ago,
was enough to send me into a swoon.) In one of the Clarke letters, he
says, "I played Leonard Woolf in the film version of his novel THE
VILLAGE IN THE JUNGLE..." <br><br>What? <br><br>How did I not know
about this, after all these years? What film version? I looked it up
on IMDB.com, and, sure enough, a film exists, and Clarke apparently is
playing Leonard. Does anyone know anything about this? Has anyone seen
it? It doesn't seem to be available on DVD or in any other format...<br><br>Cheers,<br>Drew<br><br>Drew
