Looking for a copy of Home in Indiana


I have an elderly woman (shut in) whose wishes to view "Home in Indiana". I have checked every source and cannot find it anywhere to purchase. Does anyone have a copy of it that I can purchase to be sent to this woman? She is physically disabled and can no longer ride horses, and her old horse passed away years ago, so watching old horse related movies keeps her connected to her former horse world. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a copy and would be happy to send it to her, no charge. It would be on DVD, altho I guess I could do vhs if needed. Please email me at [email protected]

Hello from Adelaide, South Australia.

I am 78, and was a great fan of Lon McCallister from the time that I first saw him as a fifteen year old in HOME IN INDIANA back in 1944. I attended multiple sessions of the film whenever it was showing, and many years later videotaped the last two thirds when I came across it unexpectedly on one of our TV channels. I still have that.

I also saw SCUDDA HOO SCUDDA HEY and THE RED HOUSE, as well as STAGE DOOR CANTEEN and THE STORY OF SEABISCUIT. I have DVD copies of the last three.

Just a week or so ago, I found some copies of the 1944 daybill for 'Home in Indiana' in my collection of lobby cards and and somewhere I have a signed copy of one of Lon's fan photographs. I liked the rest of the cast too, particularly Walter Brennan, Charlotte Greenwood and Jeanne Crain. I would like TwentiethCentury-Fox (owned now by an ex-pat Australian, Rupert Murdoch) release a DVD double of 'Home in Indiana' and 'April Love' which was based on the earlier movie..

If you could provide me with a DVD copy of the film, I would be pleased to send in return a DVD of Australian 'picture palace' movie theatres and an approximately 600 picture CD of mostly my own colour photographs of theatres large and small. Australian TVs, DVD and video players are multi-region and can show both the U.S. NTSC and our own Australian/European PAL systems. I can also convert DVDs from PAL to NTSC and vice-versa.

I was a High School teacher for more than 40 years, but also a licenced cinema projectionist for even longer than that, and had my own private mini-theatre with two 35 mm projectors and a 6,000 foot capacity maltese cross intermittent 16mm. I still work as a manager's assistant and usher at the Theatre Organ Society of South Australia's wholly owned and volunteer-staffed Capri Theatre, which has a 29 rank organ regarded internationally as the finest outside the USA.

You may like to look at our theatre's website: http://www.capri.org.au to see pictures of the theatre and its organ etc.

Hoping to hear from you.

With my thanks,

Brian Pearson.
