DVD
I'v searched for a copy of this on DVD. Anyone find it?
shareHey wildyokel.
The BBC told me that they have no plans to release it as of yet and certainly not in the US.
I do hear it's available on audio, though, according to my friends "across the pond".
I would just like to see it at this point. Have you seen it?
Thx for the reply patton.
No, I haven't seen it yet and I'm actually just looking for a nicely done version of one of my favorite novels. I'm surprised there is not an easily accesible production of it out there somewhere. :(

Searched Crime and Punishment DVD on Ebay
and I just saw that there were two copies being sold on Ebay:

Hope this helps. I recommend the 1969 Russian Edition, it is the best one to watch.
I saw this when first out on TV and thought it was excellent. I can't find a DVD of this version though.
The BBC had quite a fanfare of this, and obviously spent a lot of money on it, so I'm surprised it's not being released. There are plans for a lot of BBC content to be available online soon, maybe this will be the sort of thing you can access.
Agree, it was excellent. The BBC can produce wonderful adaptations of classics etc yet they are really hopeless at follow ups like repeats and/or dvds. And as for getting in touch with them, well, I've done so, in writing as well as email and telephone but they have never EVER replied. As far as I can remember, this version of 'Crime and Punishment' hasn't been repeated and it would be lovely to see something of this calibre shown on the new 'Drama' channel instead of endless repeats of 'Birds of A Feather', 'Last of the Summer Wine' etc (since when did they count as drama?) I have for years also been trying to get some response from the BBC regarding a wonderful series called 'The Love School' about the lives of the Pre-Raphaelites starring Peter Egan and Ben Kingsley. But again, no luck, and not available anywhere on DVD sadly. The BBC are pretty notorious for destroying old films and have got rid of many classics.
