What happened to 'The Happy Time' movie?


Does anyone know what happened to this movie?
I can't find it anywhere.
I remember seeing it on TV in the late 60's and perhaps the early 70's.
I can't find it on VHS or DVD.
I think I remember that "You Can't Take It With You" was not available for many years because it was held by some estate and they would not release it to the public.
Is this what is happening to "The Happy Time"?

From what I understand, there are some legal issues that prevent this movie from being released to the general public. But it is listed for sale on Ebay periodically, I think by a film collector who was able to have it transferred onto VHS.

It is running on TMC in a few hours and I will record it. If you want a DVD copy let me know.

The movie was as delightful as I remembered; hadn't seen it in decades. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

If you made a copy and it is available I would very much like to buy a copy.
I know I am nearly 4 years late but I can hope.

I saw an older post that you had a copy of The Happy Time, on dvd. If you have a copy of this movie I would love to have a copy. Please let me know if you still have this wonderful old movie and what you would charge to mail me a copy on dvd. Please respond to my email address: [email protected]

Thank you in advance for answering my note and I hope you have a copy of this movie, I have been looking for it for a very long time.
