If you have never seen this movie, you are probably
dying to get your hands on it by now, right? My first
very inexpensive copy of SH was bought for about $9
through a now-gone catalog that specialized in beta tapes. Others fans have managed to find some good used
copies at video stores who were getting rid of it. I
wanted a VHS version so I found and bought one through VideoOyster almost
two years ago for $40.Good place to try now -- especially if you
want the Director's Cut which includes more of the storyline (as well as more Derek) -- are the auction sites. I recommend Ebay.com and at least once a month I post a list of "DdL videos" to my mailing list that always includes a few good copies of Stealing Heaven.

Thanks to: Mary Alice for the first batch of Derek-de-Lint-as-Abelard
pics she gave to me in early 1997 when I first designed these graphics
to go on her website but we never completed the thought; to Infinitefish
for the square seamless background tile that was the inspiration for
the much larger background border image; to the most perfect actor for
the part, Derek de Lint, for playing the role of Abelard in this movie;
to Marion Meade for writing a novel based on the real life story of
Abelard and Heloise; and to all those involved in the making of this
film. To learn more about Derek de Lint's current starring role in "Poltergeist:
The Legacy", go to http://legacyweb.com/
