Has anyone seen ONCE (1974)? Probably not. It never aired on television and never got a home video release. I understand the original camera negs and several 35mm release prints survive in private hands, but the film has not been screened since 1974-75.

Never heard of it. The brief bits of imagery in the scan make it looks interesting though, kind of trippy even.

I see Chris Mitchum is in it, one of those images has a sort of PHASE IV vibe. Looks offbeat for sure.

I saw Once (1974) only once. More than 40 years ago, it was shown on Wometco Home Theater. Never shown again. Never released on VHS or in any subsequent form. Somebody, get this movie on to Blu Ray! As long ago as it was, I remember that Marta Kristen was topless! No makeup, completely natural! As I said, somebody please get this movie released on Blu Ray!

Never heard of this, sounds my sort of thing. Seems like a prime candidate for a VS partner release if a deal can be made. Going out to buy some rizlas in anticipation...
