Race for the Double Helix

	Race for the Double Helix
	by Edde Entertainment Sales Rank: 10060 Price: $9.99

This film is indeed excellent; I use it regularly in my history of science teaching. But I'm not writing to review the film, just to comment on the availability. I agree that it should be widely available, in commercial release. But, as one earlier reviewer pointed out, it is restricted to the educational market. The DVD, released in 2004, is called "Double Helix" and is sold by Films for the Humanities and Sciences for $150; FFH earlier released a VHS version, also at an educational institutional price. The original film, made by BBC Horizon in association with A&E in 1987, was called "Life Story" and is about 107 minutes long. <br /> <br />The version being sold here, released in 1994 by Edde Entertainment, is only about 89 minutes long, and therefore is missing about 20 minutes of the original. I have not seen this version and don't know what cuts were made, and certainly not why they were made. If the vendors are not selling the truncated version, they should make a new entry for it. <br /> <br />"The Race for the Double Helix" is also the title of a PBS NOVA program first broadcast in 1976, with host Isaac Asimov and interviews with James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus and Peter Pauling. <br /> <br />Look for the original version of "Life Story" or "Double Helix" of about 107 minutes in your public library or community college or university library until it is released commercially. You will have to try both titles, "Double Helix" and "Life Story" and make sure that one of the actors is Jeff Goldblum (brilliant casting!). *Viewer Reviews* Race for the Double Helix (Purchased on 09/05/2008) by Tim Pigott- have never received the movie after contacting seller numerous times .....
