One advantage is that it was made before somebody tried to be politically correct or force some politically correct idea down our throats.As with many of the earlier movies one nicety is that the credits appear before the film so that you can anticipate the actors and the music that you are about to hear.Because now day's people have larger television, screens it is a little easier to see the wires that hold up items that are supposed to be floating. Nevertheless, this does not interfere with the entertainment.One advantage of this DVD and DVDs at this time is the added voice overview, "Conversations with John Hough", which gives insight to what they were trying to produce as they made this movie. Listen to the overview and then watch the movie again and you will gain more insight and still not lose any of the entertainment value.Escape to witch Mountain may be superseded by a new version but it will never be duplicated or exceeded for pure entertainment.The Uninvited ~ Ray Milland (1944)Teahouse of the August Moon ~ Eddie Albert [VHS]
