Well done, Scott! I had never read "The Outsiders" growing up in the 80's, and it wasn't until I taught school in the 90's that I taught this novel to my students and saw the film for the first time. I was really impressed with it, how faithful it stayed to the original novel, even in its edited theatrical form. And it sounds like Coppola and company have done a great job in bringing us this restored extended cut! No doubt that this will find its way into a lot of English teachers' libraries for discussion in classes. I wish I could have seen this longer cut back then. A must-add indeed!
