Extraordinary film, should be on DVD....
I just saw this film at a Bertolucci retrospective at Museum of Modern Art in NYC, and it was extraordinary. Visually, it's one of Bertolucci's most sumptuous looking films. The cinematography should have won an Oscar (it was shot by the great Vittorio Storario). I don't know why it has never made it to home video. It's never been on VHS, Beta, laserdisc, or DVD (at least not in North America). It was financed and released by 20th Century Fox. Maybe Criterion should put this one out.
