Question
Hi, I am looking to find the movie short "The Fisherman" it was played at the drive in in the 1960's, that's about all I know about it, looking for my uncle, can it be found on the internet? I've looked many times and can not find it.
Please help
Thanks
Deb

Answer
Thank you for your question. I cannot find any movie made in or near the 1960s by the name, The Fisherman. Partial Matches are:

1. The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968/I)
2. The Big Fisherman (1959)

If you can provide me with any firm information, such as an actor, director, producer, etc., it may be possible to locate this film. Please let me know.

Sincerely,
David W. Menefee
