Ah, yes.

I checked out The Lathe of Heaven on DVD from the Ypsilanti Public Library. It's based apparently on Ursula K. Le Guin's "masterpiece".

I didn't know what a nugget of sci-fi gold I'd laid my hands on.

I watched the sucker two times in a row.

Public television turned out a film this good? Damn. And in 1979. I might have actually seen this as it debuted on TV.
