I had been searching for this DVD for a long time. Part of this movie was taken at the psychiatric hospital I worked at as a RN. The scenes where the child was in a hospital room and the psychiatrists were talking to was filmed at Springfield Hospital Center in Sykesville, Maryland. There was a building which no longer had any patients in was used for many different scenes when showing facility the child was in for evaluations. Wanted this movie for the excellent story line and for the scenes of part of my personal work history since I am now a retired nurse.

When one dark Russian night I turned on the TV to watch another exciting thrill from Macedonia, little I knew that time was around midnight and every single NATO member was sleeping already, in terms of the news program that is. I had nothing better left than to be satisfied with eggs and veggies on my plate and some movie with Richard Dreyfuss on the channel I accidentally took for a Peace Corps mission. By the time my dinner was gone I started yawning. First of all, let me tell you that Richard Dreyfuss scares the hell out of me. Even in my favorite Mr. Holland s Opus he seemed like a...
