DVD Coming?


With an Academy Award winner, top director, and highly rated, how come there is just a vhs of this out? Rights Issue?

reply

I've been wondering the same thing. It's an RKO film, so the rights should belong to Warners.

reply

It is a great film, but It is not familiar enough to the public to be released on DVD. Many people arent too familiar with runner-ups of the earlier days of the Academy.

reply

It won for best screen play but Nicols became the first to refuse an oscar.

reply

I understand THE INFORMER is coming out on DVD this summer with several other John Ford films.

reply

Yes. In June as part of the John Ford Film Collection which also features the classic The Lost Patrol.

reply

It's also available on Region 2 on its own or with 3 other films as part of a John Ford box-set.
