A Bette Davis performance that remains buried for reasons unknown

It is an outrage that this mini-series remains unproduced on DVD. It would be an outrage if it were only an average production, because Bette Davis is American cinema royalty; but, as you can see, this production scores more than 8 out of 10 in the IMDB poll, which makes it even more of an outrage.

It seems clear to me that this mini-series will never see the light of day, in a professional release. If it were to happen, it would have happened by now. What I want to know is WHY. Will someone please tell me WHY? It would help to know.

This is also one of Rosanna Arquette's early performances, and she is sensational.

Oh, how I want this production!

I wonder about and agree with everything you said. I've gone around asking companies to release it. I thought for sure Scream Factory would at least consider it. After they ignored me, I figure if they're not going to do something about, then no one will. Thing is, SF actually released 2 made-for-TV-movies, and they are both only just average films. I don't get it.

I'm probably just going to spend money on a bootlegged copy. I've waited long enough.
