A friend just gave me, unfortunately, a really poor copy of the film "A Candle for St. Jude" based on a book of the same title.

It's such poor quality that I can barely even tell that it's Tanny LeClercq in it.

Has anyone seen it? Was it released in theaters?

here is what the library has to say about this!
