I will run this one by my acquaintances in the DVD distribution business and see what they know about it... they may even be in a position to pick it up.

This is a great film. Saw it on TV and in the cinema. Tried to sign but could not get link to work. Will try later.

Thanks so much! I believe the US rights to pre-1986 MGM/UA films still lie with Warner Home Video, but I'm not sure. Whoever owns it doesn't seem to care about releasing it, so maybe they will license it to a specialty label.

Updated the film's Wikipedia Entry with a link to the similar post about my petition I made upon joining HDD.

EDIT: This is becoming like my personal crusade, how sad.

Signed it for you. I really hope it gets released becuse you have made me very interested in it.

I'm incredibly surprised a movie like this wouldn't be released even on DVD. Was it on VHS at all? Anyways, I signed it.

Yes, I was released on VHS in PAL AND NTSC countries. The US VHS (apparently last produced in 1998) was handled by MGM/UA.

The film has been released on barebones DVD in the UK twice, and at least once in Australia, and according to Amazon.com, was released in NTSC on DVD (in Full Screen) by MGM in Latin America (Region 4), but I don't know how much I trust that listing.

Thanks for your support!

Did anything ever come of this? Just wondering.

EDIT: A Breakthrough! Someone has updated the film's Wikipedia entry to show that it is now available for rental and purchase from the US iTunes Store and Amazon Video on Demand!
