Why isn't this movie on DVD?


Considering all of the junk that gets converted to DVD, it is a real shame that this classic love story is still not released on DVD. If anyone knows where I can pick up a good VHS copy please let me know. I wish that TCM would show it more often.

I'm terribly sorry but I have no information for you. I just agree with you, whole-heartedly. This movie is one of my all time favorites. WHY ISN'T IT ON DVD!!!!!!!!

reply

I agree totally... crap likeDeuce Bigelow is out on DVD.....this wonderful little film isn't.....something is wrong with the world.

I just bought this movie on DVD off of ebay so you may be able to find another one in the future there.

I have the tape but I got rid of my video player years ago. I'm looking for the DVD. I saw this film in the early 80's, on TV and immediately got the "message". How did you get the DVD? I've looked everywhere.

I've been trying to find the DVD of this awesome movie, but all I've been able to locate is VHS! Is there anyone that can be contacted to find out? Derekrulz66?? I'd love a CD-R copy, but would it be playable in the U.S.?

reply

Try Amazon.com. I believe they carry this movie on DVD.

reply

thanks so much! I have loved this movie since I first saw it as a teenager. I heard Whoopi goldberg bought the rightes to it; however, haven't seen anything in the works.

I thought Cher had the rights to it and was hoping to do a remake. Can't see it beating the original though

I understood the same thing Denise. And I would love to see her play the role.

Like most of the true classics...this has never been released on DVD. The ones they are selling on Amazon and ebay are VHS and sell anywhere from 20.00 to 100.00 because it no longer available new. Anyone who is selling this on DVD is making coppies from a VHS tape. The only way to get it released on DVD is to write to the company who owns the rights and ask them if they plan on ever releasing it on DVD.

You can also make copies by capturing it from TCM on a DVR networked to a computer - for example, my ReplayTV saves in the same format as DVDs and is on my home network.

Do you still have this available? If yes, I would love to get a copy. Please let me know.
Thanks.

I also have a very good copy on DVD - beautiful print from TCM without commercial interruption. Happy to copy for anyone for S&H charges only.

reply

What a wonderful movie! I am surprised that I never heard of it before!

Hi - I'm so glad they are showing it again. I've received many requests for the DVD copy. Please let me know if you'd ever like one (I only charge shipping for fellow old movie buffs). Best, Drake

Hey. I'm new here and this is my first day. I have a VERY old VHS copy made off cable about 15 years ago. My mother, sister and I watched this every time it came on. I'd LOVE a DVD copy.

reply

Well, it's November 2007 and it still isn't on DVD. And Deuce Bigelow is. Jesus wept.

I finally bought a VHS copy on eBay.







I trust I make myself obscure.

Hi Everyone -
YES I STILL HAVE THIS MOVIE ON DVD-R for essentially no cost (I generally ask $5 S&H incl disc etc, less for domestic shipping of course but if you can't afford even that we can work something out!). I remain just happy to share this inexplicably unavailable-on-DVD movie with fellow fans.

Posting Update: PLEASE NOTE I RECEIVE MANY MANY requests for this title and try my best to get them out within 6 weeks to everyone. Query other users for my earnestness if desired. With the upcoming holidays (and my travel plans) delivery may be delayed an additional 2 weeks +. Sorry for the inconvenience, guys.

reply

It's been over 4 months and I did not receive a DVD-R from drakepub. I just wrote requested my $5 be reimbursed. I am no longer interested in the DVD-R, just want the money back, sick of being screwed over by people with DVD-Rs of unreleased films.

BTW, the print TCM has shown is not a pristine print by any means (VHS source). I would hope when it does get an official DVD release it will hopefully be cleaned and restored extensively.

HI, Drakepub here. Did not mean to screw ANYONE around. As I wrote previously on this message board I receive MANY requests from all over (US, UK, AUS, FRANCE etc) for this title and try to send out as I can.

I AM NOT a person charging for movies on IMDB like so many, nor is it even a hobby for me, just trying to help people out from time to time w/ unavailable titles. MANY people here who have requested have received a copy from me and can testify if so desired.

I will CONTINUE to try and honor requests for this film (with no $ requested other than perhaps basic shipping costs) on my own time and effort.

If you write me and do not receive within 2-3 months etc PLEASE email me again with a reminder. Best, D
