Hey there. I wanted to know if this film is available on vide or DVD. I believe it is also an inmportant movie milestone! :-)Checked Amazon.com, but no luck!

It was on a laserdisc set entitled "The Dawn of Sound", but it has never been put on VHS or DVD unfortunately.

That sounds great, and I applaud anyone who makes such early talkie milestones as this film available. MY question is the following: Does anyone know how I may obtain a copy of "The Hollywood Revue of 1929"--either DVD or VHS--complete with its original two-color Technicolor sequence intact (i.e. with that portion of the film in color rather than black-and-white)? THAT's what I'm looking for. Thanks.
shareHow can so many of these potentially helpful replies have been deleted..?
shareA few years later - those could have been deleted by the person who posted (you can't tell anymore without severely straining your eyes) or by an administrator. A possible reason for deletion by an admin, I'm guessing, is trying to sell bootleg copies of a film - there's occasionally been people who post on just about every film that such-and-such company has that film on DVD - even on lost films. Another reason could be that a person used profanity, something that I would think is fairly unlikely, but, you never know....
shareIt's available on DVD now. Check Amazon. I know my sweetie bought a copy for the OSU Film Studies Library. (Or whatever it's called....)
the two-strip Technicolor sequences are there -- the infamous Shearer/Gilbert performance of the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet, as well as the big final production number, the staging of which was evidently difficult. But they got all those ballerinas in the shot, by golly.dolceri ac dolcere
