Samson and Delilah (1949)
Why isn't this on DVD?
Anyone know why this isn't available on a LEGAL USA "DVD"? All I've found is bootlegs and imports. Surely if Paramount can release "The Ten Commandments" and other DeMille pictures, then why not this wonderful piece of entertainment???
If it is a question of restoration, that is fine, but in this era of every type of film being on DVD, I don't understand why this movie is not among them.
I have the Paramount laserdisc version, but of course, it doesn't compare to a DVD of the same film.
Come on, Paramount, get it out!
My Son John (1952)
Does anyone know WHY this film is unavailable?
I have been watching movies for 35 years and follow listings, VHS and DVD releases, and this is one I have YET to come across. Does anyone know WHY it isn't available in some form or the other? Is it lost? Does it need restoration? The content, while out of date, nevertheless, isn't the main issue. It's that this film needs to be seen. What good are films, such as this one, "Porgy and Bess," "The Constant Nymph," etc tied up in estates for no one to see and pass opinions on? I wish there were a website of "unavailable films" where one could reference why certain ones are never heard from. Cable channels too many times show the same films over and over again but never ones that need to be seen.
