Haven't been able to find any information about why it hasn't been released to home video. I'm wondering if there was something politically incorrect in it, studio politics, or just bad box office that has prevented it from release. I remember that I liked it when I saw it in the theater, though, the details are now hazy.
shareI am also looking for the movie for dvd and/or video (I found one in england awhile back but it doesn't play on american vhs players)
so i'm stuck as well...
Add me to the DVD release wish list. I think the studio has just forgotten about the film because of poor box-office and percieved lack of public interest. I think there's an audience for it now. It's a good film.
shareMy mother has been dying to see this movie again. She watched it when she was younger (obviously) and hasnt seen it since. I looked all over for it with no luck. I would love to get a copy for her if it is ever released.
shareI don't understand it either. Burt Lancaster is a big enough star that you'd think would warrant a DVD release of this film. I wonder if it's ever been shown on tv (don't think so).
There's another western starring Henry Fonda entitled "Stranger On The Run" from 1967 that's never been released on video or tv.
I have a copy of STRANGER ON THE RUN that is an authorized factory copy as far as I know and plays on my dvd player in USA fine. I believe I bought it through Amazon.
And, about there never being a home video copy made for sale of Cattle Annie and Little Britches I am mystified. Not only the stars Burt Lancaster, Rod Steiger, etc but this starred Diane Lane when she was around 14-15. This should be a big draw for sales in-and-of itself. If you really want to see it search for an unauthorized copy.
