The movie was originally aired by ABC in 1976. I saw it when it originally aired and was quite impressed. It had many plots and twists in it and kept you guessing. Unless you know the ending ahead of time, you'll never figure it out.
Because it is a TV movie, these films are rarely issued. Occasionally they are sometimes issued by the big movie companies if there is high demand for them.
A case in point is the ABC TV Movie "Night Stalker/ Night Strangler" which had a huge cult following. It was reissued in 2005 by MGM. It is possible "One of my Wives is Missing" will be issued in the future if demand warrants it.
If you are looking for it to be broadcast somewhere, I think you may wait forever. I havn't seen it on TV for more than a decade. Perhaps they are too dated or rights are too expensive to acquire but vintage TV movies are rarely shown.
All hope is not lost however. There are a number of ways to get it. It was issued by the Direct Source label in October 29, 2002 and was once available on Amazon.com (still listed there) but not now. Direct Source deals with Public Domain films which "One of My Wives is Missing" has become. Try finding the Direct Source label DVD in some dollar type stores where they sell this type of obscure dvd. These type of Public Domain dvds usually sell for less than $5.00 each.
An easier way is to find the movie on ebay or try one of the dealers in obscure films on the internet. One such dealer is www.kultfilms.com. There are also clubs/forums (including imbd) on the internet where films buffs meet. You can arrange with members to get a copy.
Good luck to everyone on the hunt for "One of My Wives is Missing"!
