As of this posting in 2010, it's on a DVD-R for 20 dollars on a site called Just For The Hell Of It Video, they're at www.j4hi.com . I've ordered from them twice, and have had good service.

I hope you found it. It was once on YouTube in 10 parts or so. It is unlikely that it will ever be released on DVD. The copyright to the movie was not renewed when the law changed back in 1978. There are a lot of orphaned, low budget movies like Hammersmith from the period when the US had a 90% income tax and actors could deduct from their income money made from acting outside of the US for up to 90 days.

The investors in these movies got a tax write-off, the actors got tax free income.

Consequently, there weren't a whole lot of prints made.
