Subject: Windjammer release on Blue-Ray
Dear Mr. Hauerslev,
29.08.2012
I just received a Blu-ray of "Windjammer: the Voyage of the
Christian Radich" from Amazon. The production is just magnificent and
brought back so many great memories of seeing it when I was a teenager.
Please accept my profound gratitude for the very high quality
restoration which can now be enjoyed by today's
audiences, many of whom have never seen the original film in theatres.
You, Mr. Strohmaier, and all the dedicated professionals and artists
have performed a wonderful service for so many in preserving this
priceless treasure.
I wrote a review of the film on the Amazon website with five stars.
Thanks very much for your exceptional dedication and efforts in
restoring this wonderful creation.
Best wishes,
Bob Amick
