In a time without heroes and a place without hope a man found a reason to survive.

An Army medic working in a mortuary in Saigon becomes emotionally involved with a group of Vietnamese orphans. A sensitive tale of love and dedication during wartime.

Starring Dennis Christopher, Susan Saint James, Robert Englund, James Whitmore Jr., and Mai Thi Lien as Anh. I had this on videocassette years ago but I've never seen it anywhere since except for Amazon (VHS only) at http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Cry-Its-Only ... 685&sr=8-2 . I don't even have a VHS player any longer, and it's for sure there'll never be a DVD release. I'm sorry I can't make screenshots because the little girl is a real cutey.

Anybody have a rip of this one?

Thanks for reminding us of this, I had meant to post a REQ a long time ago and had completely forgotten. I have the VHS of this and have ripped it but the quality isn't that good and it will need more work for me to post it. Though I should review what I have, it's been a while.

If a good rip doesn't show up in the near future from someone's collection I'll post what I have anyway. I don't really have the knack for cleaning up VHS that loverboy has. Though I have learned some tricks in that regard since I last worked on this one.

Not wishing to dispel the myth, but...........
Most of my editing is to correct very basic faults & is usually restricted to cropping, aspect ratio resizing, de-interlacing, colour/brightness/contrast correction & audio improvement. A bad rip will always be a bad rip no matter how many filters are applied!
I'd quite like to see this one & suggest releasing even if you're not 100% happy with the quality. Forum history shows a release will sometimes flush out something of better quality.

I concur. Don't forget to clean the VCR head. Haven't used a VCR in a while, but when I was, it never ceased to amaze me how much difference cleaning the head could make.

I'd really love to see this movie again. If anyone has a rip - even a poor quality one - please share it. This is a good one, even if it didn't get much theater time.

Converted to .AVI using VLC. This is my first time using VLC to convert but it turned out better than the two other programs I tried, each of which produced a file with about a half-second delay in the audio. Don't know what that was about but this one matches the original WMV. Thanks again to starfish for this rare film.

Thanks Phuzzy, but I'm wondering if winning 20% in size is worth risking with lower quality
