Excellent movie - Help it get to DVD!

Sweet Hostage first aired in 1975 as a TV movie. Sheen's energetic, lyrical performance captured the imagination of a bookish 12 year old who had a few things in common with Linda Blair's lonely tomboy, Doris Mae. The movie engendered in me a life long love of the well spoken word, a fondness for the poetry Blake and Coleridge, and a terrific crush on Martin Sheen.

There are plenty of other reviews here which tell you more about the quality of this touching movie - read them. And if you think you'd like to see Sweet Hostage (which is notoriously hard to find on VHS and doesn't seem to exist legitimately on DVD) or like me you just need to own a copy of this movie so you can watch it again and again; You can vote cast your vote on the TMC website to have Sweet Hostage transferred to DVD. If enough people vote; perhaps next time a fan does a search on "Linda Blair", or "Martin Sheen" Amazon will direct us right to the DVD offering for "Sweet Hostage "

I would like to see this come out on dvd, i also think it would be a great sealer on the market if marked at a reasonable price where every one could afford to buy it , have not seen it for a long time but not by choice its one of linda blairs better made movies i do not care for many if any of her other movies please put this on dvd thanks for listening to the consumers thats if you take our sugestions.

bring back Linda Blair!

I loved this movie in my youth. I wish they would release it on DVD. Does anyone remember "Sarah T: Portrait of a teenage alcholic" she made around the same time aired on television, also starring Mark Hammill? I loved that movie as well. I guess Born Innocent is the only one available on DVD because of the controversial scene that caused such a stir back in the early 70's.

Welcome to Xanadu, Christabel

Here's an example of the small art film that used to be made for TV. Thoughtful & moving, it's a reminder of a time when madness was a symbol for freedom & imagination, rather than serial killing & other horrors. No, it's not completely "realistic" -- but that complaint is utterly beside the point. It's about breaking free of the everyday world, stepping outside the social roles imposed on us, and realizing more of our potential. It's also a tender love story, one that certainly wouldn't be allowed on TV today! Martin Sheen is excellent, as might be expected, but Linda Blair holds her own with him. It's a shame she didn't get more roles like this one; her acting career might have been very different. And if the story gets a touch too precious at times, that's forgivable. I'd much rather see a film take that risk, instead of simply playing it safe.

Like previous reviewers, I'd love to see this released on DVD, preferably with commentary by both Sheen & Blair. Until then, cherish that fragile VHS tape! You won't see a story like this one being made today, and more's the pity. Recommended for anyone with a dreamer's heart & imagination.
