Does anyone know why this was not available in the 1980s and 1990s?
Never saw it because I was told it was unavailable. I called a TV station in the 1980s and requested they show it. They nicely said that Universal wouldn't (or couldn't) release it. The same thing happened in the 1990s. A revival cinema had it booked but posted a warning that they weren't sure they could get it. As it turns out they couldn't! It seems it's available now but I'm wondering if anyone knows why it wasn't.
