It's a shame, since it's Liza Minnelli's OTHER good movie.
I'm hoping Paramount (and other studios too) will follow Warner Brothers' lead and make some of their older catalog titles available—even if they're just DVD-R by-demand—so folks who want to buy legit DVD copies can do so.

Really no telling when a studio might release a title from their library but I would not hold your breath as several studios have indicated they will
release fewer 'older" films.

Our library's VHS tape of The Sterile Cuckoo is missing, and I've been asked to find out whether we can get a DVD to replace it. I suspect there has never been a legitimate release on DVD.

On WorldCat, there are no DVDs listed in any library. Amazon doesn't have anything listed. Neither has eBay. I found "like new" VHS tapes on half.com and alibris.com.

So....  the three DVDs I found on Google Shopping would be bootlegs. Right?

Does anyone have information about a past, present, or future release on DVD? Or is a used VHS tape going to be our only option?

Thanks for any help you can send me.
