Is this on DVD?


I am looking for this movie on DVD. It must be Region 1 (American). I have found this in Region 2 but it won't play on any American dvd players. Does anyone know where I can get a copy?

I wish I could help you. I'm hoping that the new James Bond movie triggers a seismic interest in Daniel Craig's earlier work and possibly motivates a DVD release of The Ice House. Used VHS sells for 26 bucks and up on Amazon.com, a little pricey I think. I can't even find out when and if it will ever re-air on PBS. If anybody out there has any news of a possible release, please share!

I got mine from Amazon.UK. I hope that his success triggers all of his work to be put on to the market.

I agree the prices on the internet are rediculous at the moment.

Thanks for the reply. I actually thought about getting the UK dvd but was worried that the format they use wouldn't work on US players. I went ahead and coughed up for the VHS but it's taking forever to arrive. I'd like to know how your UK copy worked for you though.

I live in England Jet, so it wasn't a problem for me.

I have ordered something on a Region one disc. I hope I can diddle with a DVD player so I can play it!

I rented this on VHS at my local library. Granted I'm pretty lucky to have a library that stocks all obscure things British, but in the future, before shelling out a bunch on amazon for a tricky region 2 dvd or vhs, you might want to check to see if your library carries what you're looking for.

I, too, have been searching for this since I botched recording it about 10 years ago. Thanks to postings here, I found it in my Public Library yesterday.
U.S. tape is distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment of Troy, MI: catalog no. is SV10435. Two tapes totalling 180 minutes. Another triumph for the Web!

I can't believe it but 5 years after the original posts, The Ice House is *still* unavailable on dvd.

I'd enjoy watching it on Masterpiece Theatre again sometime, the vhs recording I bought isn't really of very high quality. Better than nothing though so I guess I'll quit complaining.

Its on dvd now if anyone is still interested.

Yes, I bought it! Thank you for your reply MissFloraPoste!
