How can they release absolute film junk on DVD, and not release this unbelievably beautiful movie?

Come on Universal, get with the game already! Sheesh!

It seems like one person got a hold of several copies of this on DVD on Ebay, since every time the auction ends, a new one is put up. I managed to get a copy myself and its really great, it even has the original trailer.

You're so lucky! I wish they sold them in HMV.

I hate e-bay, people are selling full screen vhs for up to $80. I dvd recorded it from TCM in widescreen and it looks beautiful. Too bad I got banned from ebay or i'd sell copies of mine for super cheap just to make those vhs sellers look like dorks.

Are they bootleg DVD's, or has there been a commercial DVD release that imdb.com and allmovie.com don't know about?

[–] give_peace_a_chance7 19 years ago

I'm pretty sure they must be bootlegged, since I've spent a hefty amount of time on the internet over the years browsing for a copy of this on DVD to no avail.

Yeah, I was thinking about taping it from TCM just now, but it was 4:50 AM (10 minutes before it came on) and I wasn't really alive...As is any teenager at 4:50..

Heck, with my lifestyle, any time before 11am doesn't exist : P lol

According to amazon.co.uk it should be released on DVD on March 6th.
About time as well. I have been waiting for years for this to be released on DVD.

Ok I am so pissed off! This is just like how the UK's release of BBC Narnia...they get more special features...mainly a reunion of the cast that us Americans don't. *scowls* I'm with wrappeddinstars 100%.

This whole region thing is outrageous. It keeps us from such movies and shows like "My Hero" on DVD. If books do not have format, why should movies have them. Even if they do, they must guarantee an eventual release in all major formats. So much for living in a global society. I contacted Universal, they said that they have no plans but asked me to keep checking their website. Painful.

Universal is always slow. It took over ten years for Murder, She Wrote to be released in DVD format. Try registering with TVSHOWS ON DVD.COM. (They don't just cover TV shows) They'll let you know when the DVD is expected to be released.
