This was originally made for theaters. The closing credits state that it was in ''Dolby Stereo (in select theaters''). Why it ended up on TV is anybody's guess-it was beautifully produced, and would have looked great on the big screen.
shareThis here movie wasn't made for theatres, it was made for TV but had a theatrical release in the UK in 1984. Being a born in 1985, i never had the chance too see this Masterpiece on the big screen. Shame really, because i bet this movie looked amazing.

''That There movie'' wouldnt have included the ''Dolby Stereo in selected theaters'' on the print used for TV if it hadn't originally been intended for theaters.They obviously saw no reason to alter it when it aired in the US. And, if it was shown theatrcallY in Britain, it WAS made for theaters.
shareThe film was made for TV with a theatrical release in Europe already planned for. They did the same thing with Salem's Lot back in 1979. Are you being purposely obtuse here? The film, like several others back in the day, was conceived for television and made for television in the United States, then aired in Europe. How is that so hard for you to understand? It's nothing new. Get a clue and stop talking just to hear yourself talk.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
Sounds like YOU'RE the one who's talking to hear yourself talk.And acting like you've been insulted as well. Theres no point in trying to have an intelligent conversation with someone who's proud of their ignorance.

For your consideration: The movie was filmed totally in England with an all British cast, except Scott. It had a theatrical release a full month before airing here. Perhaps it was a joint deal but until this question is answered by someone who knows what producers had planned there is only ones opinion. Ones opinion should not be forced on anyone as was done here.
