It's actually pretty good in its PBS incarnation. The gradual disintegration of reality as George Orr's shrink tries to improve the world is well done, and the Zen aliens are choice. I have no idea who produced/directed it, or who the actors were, but its worth watching at least once. -- "Go ahead...make my day."

In fact, I have it from unimpeachable sources that Ms. LeGuin actually had considerable say in the development of the movie of Lathe of Heaven, and up til it was released, had the right to simply scratch the entire production completely. Not bad, considering what most film contracts do to the writers. Hutch
