It's finally been announced that Our Fathers will be shown on Showtime at the following dates and times (looks like Eastern Time on their schedule):
May 21 8:00 PM
May 21 10:15 PM
May 21 12:30 AM
May 25 8:00 PM
May 26 9:00 PM
Please check your local listings to know when it will be shown in your area. For you audiophiles, it will be in HDTV and 5:1 aspect. Too bad many of us don't get this channel including me. Hopefully, they will release this on DVD as they currently do their TV series and other original movies.

Ah!. I knew Dan like most director's tend to work with people he has built a relationship with, and I didn't see any names in the cast I knew from other Curtis productions, although many are certainly well known actors. Now that you state Bob Cobert is doing the music, I KNOW its a Dan Curtis Production.

Does anyone have Showtime that can record this for us??? I just hope to be able to see it on DVD or something. Otherwise, I will miss it. [cryb] [cryg] The reviews have been really favorable.

So... we know there will be a scene where a sweaty-palmed priest requests a choir-boy to come with him to the vestry... the door shuts into a tight camera close-up, the screen goes dark and the music goes goes ... bum bum BUMMMMM!!
please do not think I am making light of the situation this movie documents, btw. THAT is the sort of thing I find horrifying. particularly considering that the damage done to the victims often can never be fully healed, even with years of therapy.

The most heinous act of all is the cover-up by Church officials. I believe this cover up is the focus of most of the movie and not the actual scenes of abuse.
I believe this article (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/reviews/review_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000927906) states it all. A huge thata boy for both screenwriter and director with a note that the typical Hollywood hype is non-existent in this movie.

Oops, didn't notice til I saw the broadcast credits that it's co-produced by Barbara Steele.
Some terrific performances and wonderful moments, but I would have preferred seeing a movie about Ted Danson's character (got a kick out of his slipping into Becker mode), or Daniel Baldwin's, Ellen Burstyn's, Brian Dennehy's, or Chris Bauer's... but "OF" focused on so many characters and events that I can't say I learned more about any one of them than I gleaned from reading news reports about the scandal while it was happening.
Cardinal Law, seen as one-dimensional, was the worst of all the portrayals.
Gothick was pretty close to the mark-- the flashback scenes to the abuse with Cobert's music and Curtis' trademark camera angles didn't help the movie at all; it felt more like watching DS, which gave them an unreal quality.

It's nice to know that they're still working together. :)
