Any Chance of a DVD Release?

This is the best silent film I have ever seen. Its a shame that it hasn't been put on to DVD yet. Any chance of that happening in the near future? Who owns the rights to it?

Paramount holds the rights to this and I would like to see this on DVD as well. Try writing to them and ask for them to consider this and other silent classics like Wings and The Last Command for DVD releases as well.

Didn't they sold lots of their old films to lot of other compagnies?
It's that or they don't care for their vaults - Masters of Cinema released dvds of silent Paramount pictures.

Docks of New York is a great silent - tons of great silents aren't on DVD, what's wrong with the world?

Thanks very much for posting that. Here's hoping it won't fall off their schedule of releases. : )
