Movies that are impossible to find

Kino Lorber sells a Blu-ray of it, can you get it shipped to where you live?

R1 No it says it only ships to North America. Thanks for sharing the site though. I think my only way of getting it is ordering it via those US virtual addresses, then have it shipped where I live.

Was lucky enough years ago to have seen Phyllicia Rashad and Debbie Allen on PBS' American Playhouse production of 'The Old Settler'. Good luck trying to find copies of this amazing casting!

I can't find SECRET CEREMONY with Elizabeth Taylor and Mia Farrow and it's ruining my life!

The BluRay version of The Abyss.

Ken Russell's complete The Devils. Anybody see the rape of Christ scene? That has to be fun. You can get the 108 minute version but the film should be 111 minutes.

My copy of Please Don't Eat the Daisies on VHS is wearing out! What shall I watch to pass the time when it finally breaks?

Okay, I'm game - "The Deep Blue Sea" (1955) with Vivien Leigh and Kenneth More. There is a horrible quality bootleg copy on Youtube and streaming on the Vivien Leigh fansite. But it was a major movie, with a major star, from a major play from a major studio - it should be remastered from the negative and put out there.

Legal problems have buried the 1959 Otto Preminger "Porgy and Bess" movie - the Gershwin Estate doesn't want it out there. Grainy bootlegs is all you will find. There is one beat up widescreen print that gets shown in revival houses.

The original British version of "A Stolen Life" (1939) with Elisabeth Bergner and Michael Redgrave. Evidently the BFI has some prints in their archives. Never shown since the 1940's, never on TV.

There is a weird crappy version of "The Threepenny Opera" called "Mack the Knife" that was released in 1962 with Curd Jurgens, Gert Frobe, Hildegard Knef and June Ritchie. Sammy Davis, Jr. did the Street Singer in the U.S. Version. Nowhere to be found except used VHS.

Many of Rod Taylor's movies never made it to DVD.

Warner Brothers really should release Blu Ray and streaming versions of the TV show based on A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET called FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES.

It lasted two seasons with a whopping 44, hour-long episodes.

I know most of them are crap, but ELM STREET is a huge, iconic franchise and most Freddy fans never lived in an area that played every episode through.

The British DVD long out-of-print only has three episodes. There are bootlegs available, but they're crappy VHS recordings from the '80s and I have to combat a ton of pop-up ads when I stream them.

r6 many years ago, if I remember correctly, it was uploaded to YouTube, along with the footage of Vanessa Redgrave masturbating with Oliver Reed's charred bone. (Which was implied.)

FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES has a surprising laundry list of A and B-list stars before and after they were famous: Brad Pitt, Mariska Hargitay, Kyle Chandler, David Lander (Squiggy), John Cameron Mitchell, etc.

It also has a slew of actors who worked in FRIDAY THE 13TH films, which is fun for fans because it's the only crossover between the two biggest, '80s horror franchises.

Goin' Coconuts starring Donny & Marie.. I need this.

Mother Love with Diana Rigg. I'm afraid of that Brit site that purports to sell rare dvds. They only take Paypal and I don't do Paypal.

I'm usually pretty good at finding copies of movies but yours has me stumped, OP. Might try eBay and see if you can find someone who will ship to you overseas.

Many of the things sought above are available on Pirate Bay. Just pointing that out. Personally, I think that if you can't *buy* the right to watch something, then download it where you can. There are ways to do this anonymously on Pirate Bay, and I delete the file once it has downloaded, so I can't be accused of sharing it with others. These things *are* available if you know where to look.

I very much want to see The Lounge People again, a Buck Henry movie from 1992 that used to show on cable channels like Starz, unedited. It was the movie version of a dark satire called L-Dopa.

After it left Starz, it was shown late night on I think Comedy Central but edited all to heck. It can't be found anywhere, not even the edited version. I wish someone would find an old VHS copy they recorded off of cable and post it somewhere.

^ (E.g. There are SIX high-quality torrents of Morgan, OP's sought-after film, on Pirate Bay right now. )

A Summer Place restored and on Blu-ray

I streamed "Morgan" in a high quality Kino Lorber digital edition (that preserved the beautiful b&w cinematography) for free through my public library: they offer a streaming service called "Kanopy" that includes a lot of classics. If your local library has Kanopy, "Morgan" may be included in the collection. You can also get it directly through Kino Lorber's website--am not sure what the cost is there...

Myra Breckenridge.

Here you go, r4

The one in which Glenn won the Oscar.

Myra Breckinridge

Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977). Among films that you can't find in a particular region, whether it be through a streaming service or on DVD/Blu-ray, The Other Side of the Street released in 2004 and starring Fernanda Montenegro doesn't appear to have had a region 2 release with English subtitles.

Mother Love was awesome, R14!

R24: Did you ever think Disney would own that movie?

Several of the movies listed above have been shown on TCM. "A Summer Place", "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and also "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" have been aired on TCM. I recorded "Looking for Mr. Goodbar".

Another one: the old "Death of a Salesman" (1951) with Fredric March, Mildred Dunnock and Kevin McCarthy. It was put out on a bad quality DVD that may be the source for a poor quality Youtube upload. Otherwise, never shown on TV. Supposedly this version was digitally restored back in 2013 and shown at UCLA as a tribute to Stanley Kramer who produced it. But that version was never shown on TV or put out on blu-ray.

Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates...please please somebody help me

I believe this is it, r29

Most of the scarce or unable to obtain films can be found, but only on region 2 or 3 DVDs and Blu-Rays. I purchased a multi-region DVD and blu-ray player but it doesn't work for most of the multi-regions I purchased. So these so-called multi-region players are dubious and unreliable.

R25 There are high quality bootlegs available on many unavailable films, including LFMG. I can't give details but they are out there (I don't want to hurt the sellers). Try various selling sites. They are often not listed in the ad headline, you have to search the ad for "additional information" The sellers pop up and disappear (sometimes almost instantly) to avoid detection. It's hilarious. And a wider range of titles than you might think.

R30 no thanks, you're adorbz, but it's not the one I want. I want TAB. Oh plizzzzzzzzz

Song of the South

Joe Gage Heatstroke

Paper House.

I've wanted a US-Region DVD or BlueRay (preferably the later) for ages, but have never found it. It's never streaming anywhere. It's such a good movie.

It looks like the Australian DVD of Looking for Mr. Goodbar can be played on any device, not necessarily a region-free player. Might check some eBay listings, if you really need a physical copy.

The Australian DVD is crappy, it looks like it was made from the old VHS transfer. I have an excellent blu ray of Looking For Mr Goodbar but you didn't hear it from me.

R20 Thank you for your suggestion!

Saigon, with Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake

Tovarich with Claudette Colbert and Charles Boyer

R4 SECRET CEREMONY is one of my favorite movies

I've wanted the blu-ray version of Bullets Over Broadway for years. The standard DVD transfer is really shitty.

Not a movie, but if anyone knows where I can get hi-def versions of the original (Japanese) Iron Chef I'd be most grateful.

I also want to see Visconti's reels with Tab Hunter. the ones with fiorinda balkan or whatever her stupid name is, and The "Vague stelle dell'orsa " ones. Tab was eventually replaced by hunky Natalie Wood's brother in law at the producer's whim, but they must exist, somewhere

Love Secret Ceremony.

If you haven't seen Vivien Leigh in "the deep blue sea", you haven't seen anything. Unfortunately it's a legendary impossible-to-find movie

A very high-quality copy of Paper House was available on a streaming site and someone put it on the download sites.

Of Secret Ceremony Taylor said, I play a dikey prostitute in this one. I would like to find a DVD of Ash Wednesday, an undeniably trashy movie, but Taylor was seldom more beautiful and Helmut Berger was mighty fine. Also would like to find the Tennessee Williams's debacle, Boom! with Taylor and Burton.

R49 all of them on youtube or OK.ru

OP the film you want is available on the Pirate Bay. Actually a lot of the films mentioned in this thread are available. Get a VPN and torrent it.

R43 There is a Japanese import blu rayl of Bullets Over Broadway that will play on us players. I have it. It does look superior to the US DVD but it's not enormous. And the Japanese subtitles are easily removeable. There's more Japanese Woody Allen titles too. Everyone Says I Love You and Mighty Aphrodite are huge improvements. Available on ebay but can be hard to find. Only a few sellers sell imports.

Thanks, R52. I've seen the Japanese import before but didn't know it would play on US machines.

R49, all play on TCM, so if you're willing, you should be able to find a classic movie torrent server that has them.

Boom! is out on Blu from Shout Factory.

Ash Wednesday is on international DVDs but I can't tell what the quality is, probably not great.

[quote] Ash Wednesday is on international DVDs but I can't tell what the quality is, probably not great.

I would dare say , it doesn't really matter

"Boom!" is on Ok.ru a great source for rare films.

R53 The version of Bullets Over Broadway I have is the one with the red curtains on the cover up top. That one will play on US players. Beware of the one with the white cover. That one is region B. They tend to be more expensive as they are shipped from Japan so there's that. But for fans it's worth it.

R49 you will like NIGHT WATCH

You used to be able to get PAL versions of "Song of the South" on Ebay (I haven't looked in a long while). I got one for my nieces and nephews and converted it.

There are a ton of '30s B movies I'd love to see that are stuck in archives.

Long Gone. An HBO Pictures movie that I watched twice a day when it came out in 1987 and I was in 7th grade. It can't be found anywhere. But I just looked it up to find a link about it and it's been on YouTube for 5 years. The guy who played Joe Louis Brown died of AIDS about 5 years after it was made.

I would like to stream An Unmarried Woman, Deconstructing Harry, and All That Jazz.

Singapore, with Ava Gardner and Fred MacMurray

OP, Morgan! is also available on VHS via US ebay with international shipping.

The 1983 ABC-TV version of A Streetcar Names Desire starring Ann-Margret as the infamously broken down but pretentious whore Blanche. I actually prefer it to the "classic" 1951 version with an overacting Vivien Leigh and a milquetoast Kim Hunter. Plus is restored much of the edited controversy from that original film about a decade or so before Jessica Lange's cable remake. It exists on VHS (never transferred) and on Youtube in about 257 segments. Bleech. Plus 1983 Treat Williams was pretty hot.

I'd like to see the documentary on Helmut Berger. The trailer made it look creepy beyond logic.

R299 The Hans Brinker & The Silver Skates program with Tab Hunter was a 1958 made for TV show. Unlikely you can find that, at least in good quality. Disney made the story into an actual film 1962 with Rony Zeander which is what R30 has linked.

R51 R63 Thanks! I might finally watch this damned movie after all.

R34 & R59, you can watch “Song of the South” here.

I have been looking for a high-res, digital stream or disc of FOR LADIES ONLY forever!

GREGORY HARRISON and MARC SINGER stripping in FULL BEEFCAKE GLORY, in their prime!!!

I found an online stream of a VHS copy once and only got about 30 minutes through. It was really good, but when I went back to finish, the stream was torn down. I'm going to order a VHS copy just to see it once!

A Gillian Armstrong/Judy Davis film called HIGH TIDE. One of Davis' best performances.

Netflix had it for streaming several years ago, but I haven't found it anywhere since.

SECRET CEREMONY is available on Blu-Ray from Amazon.

Here's a copy, r70

I wanna see Liza's Evita screen test!!!

[quote]Vanessa Redgrave is my favourite actress

Who's your favorite director, OP, Leni Riefenstahl?

You Came Along, starring Golden Age Lesbian Lizabeth Scott

R73 Akira Kurosawa

Also lol at you equating Criticism of the Israeli government with Nazism. Pick up a history book and stop paraphrasing snippets that you read on twitter. I can recommend several if you'd like.

Figures your favorite would be from a country that allied with Hitler, R75.

[quote]Mother Love with Diana Rigg

This movie is crap. The writing is terrible and not even Dame Diana can save it. It’s so bad it’s not even good.

Half the movies made before 1950.

A bunch of Disney TV movies haven't been seen anywhere in years.

In a Shallow Grave

[quote] In a Shallow Grave

This sounds like a clue on Jeopardy. I'll just say Jimmy Hoffa for $500.

Investment in a region free Blu-ray player has helped with obtaining certain films. Just be wary of cheap transfers from DVD. Do your homework on releases. This site is a great resource for movie geeks like me!

R76 stop reading opinion pieces and start reading works by established authors and academics. Even if you're deadset on your opinion (that's your right) it'll still give you a different worldview and might make you consider different POVs. Try Ilan Pappe's The Ethnic Cleansing.

The Canary Murder case, with Louise Brooks

Tv movie but F. Scott Fitzgerald in Hollywood with Jason Miller as FSF and Tuesday Weld as Zelda.

The Day the Clown Cried starring Jerry Lewis.

May it *always* be impossible to find, r86.

Taxi Zum Klo?

The original full cut of Greed

OP, Walmart has it for $11.99. They have free 2 day delivery when you buy $35.99 worth of merchandise. You can just order groceries or anything else from them to make up the difference of $35.99

The 1981 filmed version of the play "Vanities" that was broadcast on HBO, starring DL icons Shelly Hack and Meredith Baxter Birney, as well as Annette O'Toole.

The 1994 version of "Valley of the Dolls" with Sally Kirkland.

Farewell My Chinaman starring Ching Gao

Chrissy Metz's sex tapes

Lez Be Friends on 8mm

Trog!

"Vanities" is available at Movie Paradise to download as well as many of the other obscurities mentioned above.

If I use those download sites, will I catch more viruses and infections than Antonio Sabato, Jr. during casting season?

R45 I had no idea tab Hunter was supposed to be in that one. Visconti had a type! He’s sort of an American and more wholesome and clean-cut helmut.

R99 Visconti was secretely OBSESSED with the nazi's ideal of beauty. The tall, blond , blue eyed, muscular teutonic Wagnerian god. Tab was 100% german, although american born. Vsconti tried to have him for Senso, but he was blocked by Henry Wilson. Tab was Visconti' dream come true. He developped VAGHE STELLE DELL' ORSA for a chance to work with Tab. When Tab arrived in Rome in the 60's, Visconti invited him to his coterie, dined him, wined him , tried to woo him. Unfortunately, Tab was also a top and fucked Helmut, instead of the maestro. That didn't help him get the part IMO.

Not movies but I'd live to find old shows on premium cable that came before the Sopranos/Sex and the City juggernaut, like Dream On, Da Ali G Show and Tales from the Crypt (all HBO); Brothers, Beggars and Choosers, Sherman Oaks, Linc's, Rude Awakening (all Showtime). I know there are some torrents and YouTube uploads floating around but the quality is generally pretty lousy. 1st and 10 is the only older show I know of that got a DVD release.

OP, if you are in Europe, maybe we could help each other out. I want a box gift set of the Westlife perfume (don't ask) but England won't ship it to the States (England only, I get perfume from Israel, Russia, etc. without issue). I could order "Morgan" (I want a copy too since I collect Oscar nom'd films) and send from here in U.S. Seriously.

I liked Rude Awakening. It seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth. Loosely based on the real life experiences of former actress (now producer) Claudia Lonow afterlife from when she was fired as a young star on Knots Landing. Lonow doesn't paint a particularly kind picture of Michele Lee.

I watched "Who's Happy Now?" by Oliver Hailey on [italic]Great Performances[/italic] back in 1975. Great cast and I've been waiting 45+ years to see it again.

Letty Lynton starring Joan Crawford.

Although reading about it, it kind of sounds like a dud. Still, it's movie history.

Someone put "Letty Lynton" up on YT and somehow I managed to see it before it was taken down (almost immediately). I can't say I thought it was one of her better films. It just has this great reputation because it's unseen.

Re. Visconti's casting for Senso, per Wiki...

"Originally, Visconti had hoped to cast Ingrid Bergman and Marlon Brando in the lead roles. However, Bergman was then married to Italian director Roberto Rossellini, who would not allow her to work for other directors, and Brando was rejected by the producers, who considered Granger a bigger star at the time."

whaterver Brando was, he was not a teutonic god

"Visconti was secretely OBSESSED with the nazi's ideal of beauty. The tall, blond , blue eyed, muscular teutonic Wagnerian god"

obviously such a deep secreted obsession that he cleverly concealed it by casting most of his male leads with hot dark haired actors

we didn't get the memo:

-alain delon, farley granger, marcello mastroianni, burt lancaster, massimo girotti, jean sorel, michael craig

luchino never seemed to get enough of my dark hairy hole or ever object to sinking into my lush "black forest" bush

You can sometimes find a hack to change a DVD player to region free. I had a couple of $30 Philips players that I was able to do this with. Check online to see if someone has posted the hack for your model. It's a simple process of pressing a sequence of buttons on the remote to get to a screen where the region settings can be changed.

"Vanities" is still on YouTube, like so many filmed plays like PICNIC, PLAZA SUITE, PURLIE, et al. The wealth of material on there boggles the mind.

The Tab Hunter HANS BRINKER was on Amazon Prime--saw it twice this past year, so check there. Forgettable score, but quite charming and Tab is dreamy, per usual and handles his skates quite well.

I'm looking for ALPHA BETA with Rachel Roberts and Albert Finney. Haven't seen it since 1976, but it lives on in memory. There's a website that sells it but the company doesn't respond to inquiries or inspire confidence.

^Re R107, Brando's real paternal last name was Brandau, German, they were Pennsylvania 'Dutch'. It had been changed by the family before Marlon was born. Brando was 0% Italian, which is ironic considering the roles he got. So "God" or not, he wasn't Italian in the slightest.

Letty Lynton also has closeted 'mo Nils Asther

Letty Lynton's all about...that dress.

The 1931 "Seed" is the only Bette Davis movie that is only viewable in an archive. I would think some smart person that owns the rights would have thought to put it on DVD as "The Missing Bette Davis Film"! If it had been at Best Buy or other retailers in a display at the end of the aisle, it would have sold a lot, I think. Everyone who knows someone who likes Bette would have bought them a copy as a gift. Same with some of the early missing Bogart, John Wayne, Spencer Tracy films, not to mention "Letty Lynton". But it may be too late now - Best Buy and similar stores are gone and only us die-hards are still into these old movies. Not sure if the much younger generations are still interested in them.

With 6 You Get Egg Roll starring the DL Trans Asian as The Egg Roll

Did you know the egg roll is the average size of the Asian male erect penis?

Black Devil Doll From Hell (1984). One of those movies that's good precisely BECAUSE it's so genuinely awful. The last time I saw it was ~10 years ago.

Plot summary: devoutly religious black lady goes into a voodoo shop, buys a puppet that comes to life, gets raped by it, and turns her into an unholy whore.

Don't worry, you won't have to look at a pussy or anything. Its prurient content is about as erotic as South Park (and twice as funny). Being stoned while watching it helps smooth over the poor production quality.

I want the extended version of High Anxiety, but I don’t know if it’s ever been released. They used to show it on TV in the 1980s. It’s got some really funny additional lines and scenes.

Open it in chrome and select “always translate Russian.” Then you can interact with the website in English.

Return to the Valley of the Dolls.

Where can I stream "The Hard Way" starring Ida Lupino? It used to be on youtube, then it got SNATCHED!

All that's there now is a radio version with Miriam Hopkins. Which sounds interesting... but not the same! Not the same, AT ALL!

How do I find Pirate Bay? Do you need to have VPN? Also, don’t want any computer virus.

TIA

To add: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979?) -the original feature film release.

Caligula. I know it's lousy but I'd like to see the prosthetic penises. They were prosthetic, right?

Strange Days (1995)

Stevie, Samson and Delilah (1975) is a "lost" movie that has never been released in any video format and only had a very brief and limited theatrical run. The filmmaker who wrote, directed and owned this independent movie was a former Tarzan actor and stuntman who kept big cats on his Florida compound (just like Tiger King.) Only two or three prints of the movie are known to still exist as most of Hawkes' film collection was destroyed when his home burned down. Here's a synopsis of Stevie, Samson and Delilah:

"The adventure of a little boy and his pets, a lion and a tiger, as they flee into the Florida Everglades when authorities threaten to separate them." Steve's real son Stevie starred along with two of his big cats, a tiger and a lion.

Watch this home movie made by Steve to see the big cats and Stevie. Obviously a kid should not have been allowed to be so close to wild animals (even though they are supposed to be "tame".)

R125 Search for it, and yes.

R118, my friends and I must have watched BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL at least 20 times in college, and even in the years after college, we still would occasionally watch it together. Haven’t seen it in years, but we all still quote lines from it to each other.

Also, why isn’t FOUL PLAY streaming anywhere?? I know there are pieces of it on YouTube. I haven’t hooked up my DVD player since I moved two years ago, but I guess that’s the only way I’ll be able to watch it, but haven’t looked for the dvd for sale anywhere.

R126, I downloaded a torrent of the feature film Buck Rogers In The 25th Century last year so it must be available on some media, DVD or Blu-ray.

Same with Foul Play.

Most of these are somewhere - foreign region DVDs/Blus - a quick check of youtube or torrent sites or bootleg dvd places.

One thing I've never seen - and am dying to and can't find anywhere - is the TV adaptation of Henry James's THE AMBASSADORS with Paul Scofield and Lee Remick. Nowhere to be found.

FOUL PLAY is for sale on Amazon on DVD.

The Buck Rogers in the 25th Century feature film is available separately or as part of the Buck Rogers Complete Series from Kino Lorber. Silly show but gorgeous restoration of the original 35mm elements. Plus fun guest stars like Jamie lee Curtis, Dorothy Stratten (with a dubbed voice!), and Roddy McDowall.

FOUL PLAY is available on blu ray on Pirate Bay. Can be hard to find but it's there. I have it, beautiful HD transfer. Far superior to the ancient DVD. It's another Paramount title (like Looking for Mr Goodbar) and they are slow to release their catalog titles on blu ray.

We did this already

Night Without Sleep, with Linda Darnell and Gary Merrill

R125. I’m having trouble downloading the best VPN and trying to find the latest version. Do you know which platform is the best one to use, i.e. PC or IOS or Kindle and the simplest one to install.

Does Kodi work too?

Thanks.

Royal African Rifles, with Louis Hayward

Best VPNs are housed in Sweden, which has the most liberal privacy laws.

Brian De Palma's Femme Fatale was on a good dvd but it still has not been released on blu-ray. It did poorly at the movies but it did really well as far as dvd sales go.

Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead also needs to come ouit on bluray.

"Sextette" starring an antediluvian Mae West and a young Tom Selleck fresh out of the West Side YMCA. More curious than anything. I'm sure it's absolutely horrible and about as arousing as the gym scene from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".

The great films of Miss Kay Lenz are criminally difficult to find. Kay is a legend in danger of being forgotten. Don't let this happen Criterion.

Pinter's "Betrayal" with Ben Kingsley, Jeremy Irons, and Patricia Hodge. Better than any stage production I've seen.

I got "Morgan" quite easily on Amazon,I thought there was nowhere on Earth they didn't deliver. It's a unique film, one of my favourites.

“Sextette” is on DVD and was streaming on Amazon Prime Video for $3.99. I have it on dvd. Some of you are just lazy. R143

I can't find Robert Altman's A Wedding anywhere. It used to play on cable all the time, but was taken out of circulation for some reason. It's my favorite movie of his.

Selleck was in Myra Breckinridge, r145, not Sextette.

^r143

"The Mother" starring Daniel Craig and Anne Reid.

Look for Altman DVD box set, cheap on eBay "Wedding" is in ir.

Gal Young Un A well-received indie from 1979, directed by Victor Nunez, who would go on to make Ulee's Gold and Ruby in Paradise, featuring an early performance by J. Smith-Cameron, was released on VHS back in the 80s and has been out-of-print for decades. There are some bootlegs floating around, but it's one of the only movies I've never been able to find on a torrent and I don't think it's ever been available to stream anywhere.

Ruby in Paradise has never gotten a US DVD release either, but was released in Canada. It has turned up on streaming sites and I downloaded a high-quality version it on a torrent site.

Hard Choices Another well-received indie that fell through the cracks. It was only ever released on VHS, which pop up on eBay. Another film that I have never seen on a torrent or stream.

Paperhouse British Fantasy movie from the 80s that has a cult following. It's been available to stream at times and has shown up on torrent sites.

Niagara, Niagara Yet another indie that got attention, then sorta disappeared. I owned a copy of it on VHS tape years ago. I found a high-quality download recently after searching for it for years.

Misfire: The Rise and Fall of the Shooting Gallery is a doc about the independent film distributor The Shooting Gallery. It is not on DVD and I can't even find a bootleg of it.

R156 That's easy to find on torrents if you really want to see it.

[quote][R156] That's easy to find on torrents if you really want to see it.

Really? I looked on Pirate Bay once and didn't find it. Can you recommend a site? I've read the book and wanted to see how the movie was done.

Three, starring a young attractive Sam Waterston and Charlotte Rampling.

I've heard about The Room, said to be the worst film ever made.

I’d like to watch Citizen Kane. Is it as good as people say? Where I can I watch it for free?

R163 you'll find it under my caftan

R163 I could never tolerate more than 5 minutes of that snoozefest . It's INSANELY boring

R160 huh. I saw it on 1337x and the Kickass Torrents revival less than a year ago - I remember it was during the COVID lockdown when so much unexpected stuff showed online. It's no longer on the first and the latter closed.

Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Troubled Water (1964) - Tab Hunter.

NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

apart from 4 minutes on YT

Anything with Tab I'll watch R168

^ there's that gurl, Frenchie

There are a million movies and TV shows out there that are unable to find... "Wacko" and "Hot Hero Sandwich" two saturday moring TV shows that I'd love to see again. Roundhouse from Nick at Night. Cop RocK fron Steve Bochco. There are also TV movies that I watched that I'd love to see again..."The Last Best Year" with Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters, and "Fresno" a take off on nightime soaps with Carol Burnett.

[quote]"Wacko"

The one about the school in England?

Would love to find the movie "Nasty Habits" (1977) with Glenda Jackson, Geraldine Page and Rip Torn. British send-up of Watergate set at a convent in Philadelphia.

A search on Amazon shows they have it in stock R173.

I came across an excellent copy of Amy & Isabelle, a TV adaption of the Elizabeth Strout nove,l last year on a torrent. I forgot to back it up on a thumb drive and now I can't find it anywhere.

R124 I don't know about streaming, but The Hard Way (which is great) is available to buy on dvd from Amazon or the Warners Archives Collection at tcm.com

The Warrior's Husband (1933). There's still an existing copy, but it was never been issued on home video or shown on television.

Alexander: the Other Side of Dawn (sigh)

Saw it as a young gayling and Leigh McCloskey was one of my first TV crushes.

R178 It's on YouTube

[quote] "Fresno" a take off on nightime soaps with Carol Burnett.

On YouTube and probably elsewhere.

R3, THE OLD SETTLER is on YouTube.

The Slap Maxwell Story, One-season ABC Dramedy starring Dabney Coleman from the late 80's.

I like the one where Mary Tyler Moore sleeps with her own son and then they kill Edith Bunker. It's based on a true story. Where's that at?

Yes, R144. I hope you find The Initiation of Sarah.

R148, Selleck was ALSO in Sextette. So gay.

R160 RARBG

Citizen Kane is worth seeing at least once.

I wish The Heiress would stream on one of the major services. It's mentioned from time to time on DL, and I would love to see it. But I don't want to get some big additional TCM package or some other damn thing I won't be able to figure out. Just get on Netflix or Amazon Prime or something, would ya, Ghost of Olivia.

I loved the 1979 miniseries Studs Lonigan, with early performances (debuts?) by Harry Hamlin, Diana Scarwid, and Michael Keaton.

[quote]Look for Altman DVD box set, cheap on eBay "Wedding" is in it.

But not, alas, Health, which I know isn't all that great but I enjoyed it back when it came out in theaters. Lauren Bacall and CCH Pounder were great and Geraldine Chaplin wasn't as annoying as usual. Of course my memory is from 40 years ago.

[quote]I loved the 1979 miniseries Studs Lonigan, with early performances (debuts?) by Harry Hamlin, Diana Scarwid, and Michael Keaton.

I remember watching that as a teenager. I didn't like Harry Hamlin because he didn't seem Irish enough.

Has anyone seen the Moviola trilogy since it was on tv? I know that "Scarlett O'Hara War" was included on one of the dvd releases of Gone With The Wind, but I'd like to see the other two episodes.

It's not a movie but if anyone can find a stream for 'Lace' I'd be very grateful.

There was also a Studs Lonigan movie in the early 60s, which is also hard to find

R192, I saw Moviola when it was first broadcast. I read the book too. I think the Monroe one was the best.

Lace is on YouTube. Not a great transfer but if you’re desperate.

The sequel is also on there but it’s shit.

R190, Altman's HEALTH is on Youtube.

Mitchell Leisen's Lady in the Dark and Frenchman's Creek are crying for full Technicolor restorations and Blu-ray releases. Lady hasn't been seen in decades and FC is on YouTube in a terrible washed-out version.

Never mind, I just found Lady on YouTube. Out of focus but the color seems close to right.

"Song of the South." It's a Disney movie that's basically a retelling of the Uncle Remus stories, which were taken from African American folk tales. It contains a charming performance by James Baskett; he was awarded a special Academy Award for his performance as Uncle Remus. He was the first African American man to win any kind of Oscar. The film featured memorable songs ("Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" won the Oscar for Best Song) and the animation was funny and entertaining. But this movie is considered to be so vile, so evil, so reprehensible that it has been essentially banned everywhere; it has never been released on any home video format in the United States, nor is it available on its streaming platform Disney+. That's a shame. I think it should be available to anyone who wants to see it and have them judge for themselves. I would love to see it, just to see James Baskett's performance.

By the way, one of the major misconceptions about "Song of the South" is that it featured "happy slaves." But the movie is set AFTER the war, during the Reconstruction era.

[quote]Cop RocK fron Steve Bochco.

It's on DVD!

R190, CCH Pounder is not in Health.

Perhaps you are thinking of Alfre Woodard who is black, but looks nothing like CCH Pounder.

Struggled to find “Movie 43” consistently available, if only for the impossibly-reclusive vignette starring Halle Berry and Stephen Merchant dating.

Other than that, “Drop Dead Gorgeous” is even more elusive. Or perhaps it’s just the times when I’m searching for it. But trust me gurls, if you can see it, watch it!

There are torrents of Drop Dead Gorgeous. It appeared to be released on some platform last summer. I didn't download it though.

"My Donut With Annie," a short parody of "My Dinner with Andre"

"Paydirt," a dramatized documentary about growing marijuana in Hawaii

Both of those I saw in a theater, but have never found them available any other way.

R200, I saw Song of The South on re-release in the early '70s when I was like 7 years old. It was a double feature I think with...Mary Poppins, maybe? Or maybe it was with an animated feature. (Just googled it.) It was the 1973 re-release as a double feature with The Aristocats.

I don't think it's that it's vile, evil and/or reprehensible, though it likely is the latter. It's just that it's SO EMBARRASSING and OFFENSIVE. But it's like Birth of A Nation or anything. It's more of a benign racism - if there is such a thing - y'know, the very idea that people thought it was all right to portray black people that way. And they present the black characters as actually liking slavery.

Karina Longworth did a whole series her You Must Remember This podcast about it, two years ago I think. You should give it a listen, if you haven't already.

^^ But it's NOT like Birth of A Nation...

If you're offended by the first movie for which a Black man won an Oscar but you're not offended by this, then you are indeed a racist beyond redemption:

[quote]Has anyone seen the Moviola trilogy since it was on tv? I know that "Scarlett O'Hara War" was included on one of the dvd releases of Gone With The Wind, but I'd like to see the other two episodes.

I've only ever seen "The Scarlett O'Hara War" rebroadcast (on cable) since the original airing. The book is one of my favorites; it includes two other stories not featured in the miniseries, one about the Fatty Arbuckle scandal and the other about Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand (probably because these stars were long forgotten by 1979).

Looking for Mr Goodbar. Can't find it anywhere. Also Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver

As anyone said, "Looking for Mr Goodbar" yet?

[quote]Looking for Mr Goodbar. Can't find it anywhere. Also Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver

Looking for Mr Goodbar used to be on Youtube. Was it taken down?

Circle of Friends can be found in torrents.

The earlier version of STUDS LONIGAN was made in1960 and starred an actor named Christopher Knight. This was the stage name of a St Louis native named Gerald Medearis. Back in 1972 I was a psychiatric nurse working on the locked unit of a St Louis hospital, and he was admitted there on two different occasions. Sadly, he was seriously ill and underwent two rounds of ECT treatments, which were quite common back then. While hospitalized he told us he had been an actor in movies and no one really took him seriously. However, his imdb page has some interesting tidbits: he evidently went to Harvard and studied theater there, landed the leading role in STUDS LONIGAN in 1960 (which co starred Jack Nicholson) and has only one other film credit, IF A MAN ANSWERS, in 1962, with Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin. In addition, in 1964, the NY Times printed an announcement of his engagement to a Neva Goodwin Rockefeller, the daughter of David Rockefeller and granddaughter of John D Rockefeller. The wedding was set for 1965 but never took place. He died in 2006 in Versailles, MO, which is a tiny town near Lake of the Ozarks. I have never seen him in STUDS LONIGAN; one thing I remember about him was that he was fairly short, maybe only 5'5 or so, with a very soft speaking voice. He was only about 21 when he was cast in STUDS LONIGAN as a complete unknown,and in his early 30s when he was hospitalized in St Louis. He lived to be 66, and I hope he attained some measure of health and wellness. Quite a story!!

"And they present the black characters as actually liking slavery."

The blacks in "Song of the South" lived in the South and worked on a plantation but they WERE NOT SLAVES. The movie is set AFTER the Civil War. They were NOT "happy slaves."

Looking for Mr. Goodbar is on The Pirate Bay right now. I downloaded it. It's AVI format and obviously VHS sourced, but it looks and sounds pretty good. Quality: 7/10

Drop Dead Gorgeous is on DVD and Blu-ray. You can order it from Amazon. It is also on The Pirate Bay.

Circle of Friends is on Blu-ray. Its DVD appears to be OOP. You can also torrent it from RARBG.

The Runner Stumbles (1979), Stanley Kramer's barely-released final film, about a priest (Dick Van Dyke, in a rare dramatic role) who falls in love with a nun (Kathleen Quinlan) he's later accused of murdering. Released on VHS very briefly in the 80s, then nowhere else until it was released on DVD about 10 years ago.

R188, "The Heiress" is easily available on Amazon, including both DVD and Blu-Ray, Various copies, including The Criterion Collection. Blu-Ray is around $20 and the DVD slightly more.

What about "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"?

I can't find "For Good-looking Mr. Bar" anywhere.

R213, what a story! I always wondered why he completely vanished

Song of the South is available via torrents.

The original series Sensitive Skin with Joanna Lumley is hard to find. The inferior canadian remake with Kim Catrall is much easier to get.

R214, it’s more complicated than that.

Six episode series on Song of The South starts here.

How do I get Kodi to work on Kindle HD?

OP - I found the movie you wanted to watch (Morgan: A Suitable Case For Treatment) in 10 seconds on a well-known torrent site. It's BluRay quality.

You'll all be able to find these movies that way if you [bold]really[/bold] want to see them.

How can you tell if a torrent site or file is safe?

Sequoia (1934)

I've spent my entire adult life looking for a decent copy of Bunuel's Los Olvidados. I have a really terrible looking DVD of it, almost unwatchable. Would love for Criterion to release a BluRay.

[quote]How can you tell if a torrent site or file is safe?

If you have a good anti-virus program(s), they will scan a file you download and tell you whether it is safe to open. You might have to tell the program specifically to scan it. There are too many variables to give specific advice but all this information is easily googled.

R22 thank you. I'd never heard of Secret Ceremony. Fun but badly made. Taylor was in a bunch of schlocky movies around this time, like this one.

R232 Secret ceremony was re-cut by the producers to the point of butchery, several times. there are different versions in circulation, none of them Losey's choice.

Beatles original release of Let it Be…..only bad amateur reproductions….sucks

R233 that probably explains the obvious problems with the film.

" It's INSANELY boring"

Wrote the most insanely boring (not to mention undiscerning) person on the planet.

"then you are indeed a racist beyond redemption:"

And you need to find a dictionary. You don't have the first inkling of the definition of "racism" or "racist."

Both THREE and LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR have been broadcast on TCM in recent years. Sam Waterston is very pretty of face in the former.

"The blacks in "Song of the South" lived in the South and worked on a plantation but they WERE NOT SLAVES. The movie is set AFTER the Civil War. They were NOT "happy slaves.""

Thank you. It's a beautiful, well-done family film and it is very sad that it's become a victim of the PC Police. The SJWs won't be satisfied until our civilization is nothing but a pile of smoldering rubble.

A lot of those torrents were taken from legal home video releases of the film outside of North America.

Song of the South is not banned. SJWs have done nothing to prevent it being seen.

Disney has CHOSEN not to release it.

And now here comes the delusional racist to try and argue why corporate censorship is something else and why corporate censorship of the work of Black people is not racist.

The treatment of the movie is censorship, and anybody who defends the censorship of this or any work by black actors is so fucking racist you should be thrown in a goddamn Gulag for saying it.

Defending deprivation of choice by a large company run by “straight” white males is so fascistic it should not even be protected by the First Amendment.

Don’t you dare fucking defend Disney here. Don’t you dare.

R239, amen. Funny how the conservatives here bitch about the "PC police" but are trying to ban "critical race theory" a term 99% of them can't define. They'll decry "politically correct censorship" but watch films from the Production Code era when things like sex, nudity, swearing, and homosexuality were banned.

Mike's Murder (1984) Neo-noir starring Debra Winger and directed by James Bridges.

I have MIKE'S MURDER on VHS. I also have FOR LADIES ONLY on VHS. I loaded up on $1 and $2 VHS tapes as Blockbuster was phasing them out, then did the same a few years later when they started offloading their DVDs, 5 for $20. When Circuit City went out of business, I bought two VHS/DVD combo players. One is still in the original box. And I have a TV with a built in VHS which works beautifully. I'm set for life.

[quote] Mike's Murder (1984) Neo-noir starring Debra Winger and directed by James Bridges.

Yes! I watched this a few times when it was on heavy rotation on HBO back in the 80s. Neat little film (like Cutter's Way) with a surprise gay element. Mark Keyloun, who played Mike, was a hottie who didn't work much after.

Mike's Murder is available on the streaming app Vudu. Sadly it hasn't been remastered in HD or 4K and the original cut of the film before the studio demanded edits is probably lost for good.

I have "Mike's Murder" on DVD from Warner Archives. Sure it's still around. Director Bridges apparently had major crush on Keyloun and it was a bit of a mess. Loved Winger during this period, especially here.

Criterion can be a decent source for films.

Age has destroyed much of my memory, but there was an online site (whose name escapes me now) that I went to for unusual films. They tended more to be little-known thirties, forties, or fifties movies, unlike something like Looking For Mr. Goodbar, but there was one seller there who offered countless DVDs, always well-turned, in DVD boxes with art covers (and two bonus DVDs just plain) for very little money.

I found a lot of films I was really interested in, including Sterling Hayden's second film, when he was still a big blond boy of great beauty. (He got grizzled later, after the war.) He's shirtless for much of the running time and the film is in color. I don't recall the title. Something like Bermuda Triangle, though of course that's not it. But it has that scan, and it's something Caribbean.

I also got from this dealer that marvelous old Gilbert and Sullivan bio with so many onstage scenes featuring the D'Oyly Carte Company. Like Topsy Turvy but different (if you know what I mean).

But the last time I went to browse this man's catalogue, he wasn't on the site. At least not under his former name.

Does anyone here know the site I mean? It's not that obscure.

here's a link to one of the most famous pilot episodes of all time. People used to pass around bootleg VHS tapes of this

How is a sitcom based on Hitler any worse than giving sitcoms to Tony Danza, Scott Baio, and Kirk Cameron?

So what you're saying is, Scott Baio is worse than Hitler?

Perhaps.

R252 - probably not the one you're talking about - but MovieDetective.net has an amazing collection of obscure European films with English subtitles, as well as American and British films.

R255: I'm sure his paintings are a lot worse, that's for sure, assuming any exist.

That site looks awesome. Thanks, r256

I can't find Female on the Beach with Joan Crawford anywhere. They took it out of circulation on cable/satellite years ago, and it's not on any of the streaming platforms. Why do you think that is?

Female on the Beach is on DVD

Yes, that is a great site, R256. I noticed they have Lady In the Dark, which I think someone was asking about upthread.

I can't find out from the site how they package the discs--in a plain envelope? A DVD case with artwork?

Do you know from personal experience?

R261 - they come in a plastic disc holder with no artwork. Two discs to a case.

[quote] Female on the Beach is on DVD

And on molly. Was it just her breast that was found?

Just found "Walls of Malapaga"on DVD on one of those sites. Thrilled, one Best Foreign Language film winner I was missing.

In my experience, MovieDetective is certainly among the best of the online hard-to-find film distributors. Responds to orders/inquiries in a timely fashion, reasonable prices, quick turnaround, dvds delivered in labeled plastic sleeves...what's not to like? As for the some of the others...well...I'll bite my tongue.

[quote]Female on the Beach is on DVD

I have no intention of buying it, silly. I just want to watch it for free. It's just weird that you can't find it anywhere. All of Joan's other movies are readily available, except for FOTB. TCM plays Trog every month, but absolutely no FOTB. For some reason it's been taken out of circulation and I want to know why?

Another Joan Crawford that has been taken out of circulation is I Saw What You Did. I love that movie.

R256, neither "Paper House" nor "Prospero's Books" comes up in the search on that site. Sigh.

R266, I Saw What You Did was on Antenna TV last night.

If a movie is available on DVD then it's not "out of circulation"

And, btw, TCM has shown Female on the Beach

[R22] Thank you! I love you and want to marry you!

R259 "Female on the Beach" is here

[quote] A woman (Joan Crawford) living on the California coast suspects her beach-bum husband (Jeff Chandler) plans to kill her.

No shit. He was hot and she was... what? 50? And mannish.

Doctors' Wives (1971). So trashy and I love every meodramatic, poorly written scene and badly acted moment. As a youngster, I watched this whenever it came on tv. I think I also saw it as a ye olde drive in movie too. I always recommend it when my friend group wants to do a "let's get drunk and watch a shitty movie together" night, but it's difficult to find, or it has been. For all I know it's available in full on Youtube. I'll have to check.

On my wish list is Crowhaven Farm from 1970. Made for tv movie, which are most of the movies I want to re-watch, but can never find. I no longer have a dvd player and don't want to buy one, though, so if they're available for purchase on Amazon to download and stream as opposed to dvd, that would work. I guess I should check on Youtube or Pirate Bay and the like. I wish some enterprising individual would create a streaming app that only shows the "made for tv/Lifetime for Women movie of the week" types of films. I'd subscribe to that one in a heartbeat!

In Female on the Beach there's a scene where someone describes as 50-ish Joan Crawford as "young lady"

Crowhaven Farm with Lois Nettleton has been on Youtube for years. I watched it last year around Halloween.

The "TV Fanatic" and "TV Terrorland" Youtube channels have a bunch of ABC Movie of the Week uploads.

[quote]It's never streaming anywhere. It's such a good movie.

It's streaming right now on B ritbox.

[quote] In Female on the Beach there's a scene where someone describes as 50-ish Joan Crawford as "young lady"

Well, in all fairness, Joan was considerably younger than the ocean.

Natalie Schafer said that Joan was a bitch on the set of Female on the Beach. It was during Joan's transition into hagdom and she was understandably on edge.

R277 - thank you for that info! I'm going to start checking Youtube regularly for old, made-for-tv type movies I want to watch if they're not available for streaming on Amazon.

Doctors' Wives is available on DVD from Amazon. A friend had a copy and it's not as much fun as you think it's going to be. Dyan Cannon is the only saving grace and she's not in it much.

R282 - aw well, ain't that the way with almost everything from long ago that is remembered fondly.

So many movies from the late sixties and seventies: Doctor's Wives (mentioned above and pretty dreary), The Seven Minutes (about an obscenity case, with Hello, Dolly alum, Marianne McAndrew), Marriage of a Young Stockbroker (not bad at all), Portnoy's Complaint (awful), Goodbye Columbus (astonishing, in its way), The Adding Machine (plenty of outlets for it, but haven't bought it yet--how can you miss Phyllis Diller's bid for serious dramatic actress?)...and many, many more. I'll post as I remember them......

Oh, and Hurry Sundown and Mandingo (with Perry King-yum!) have their moments, too!

Anyone know about the 1969 version of “Laughter in the Dark” with Anna Karina? I’ve just been reading the Nabokov novella and am highly intrigued. It would seem a lot of Tony Richardson’s films are languishing.

It's on YouTube, R289

The Fixer (1968, starring Alan Bates). Never released on DVD in the U.S. (?). I watched it on VHS way back in 1998ish.

Laughter In The Dark is a terrible movie. Stick with the novel.

Thanks, r303. I'll give it a look.

Old Yeller

R304 The Northern Exposure series will never be released with original music content because because the copyright permission for the original broadcast extended only to television and not to DVD, which would require a significant cost to repurchase the rights.

𝐒𝐤𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐝𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲 (1970) has been exceedingly rare, but supposedly that's about to change:

(I say 'supposedly' because at one point, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 (1972) was heralded as being about to be released to Blu Ray by Kino-Lorber... but that was three years ago. It never happened.)

I just hate not being able to get certain films on Blu ray. Or when they just put the DVD version of the film on Blu ray with no improvement. This website has been helpful in making purchases with their analysis of different versions.

'Testosterone' (2003) David Sutcliffe, Sonia Braga, Jennifer Coolidge, Leonardo Brzezicki, and Antonio Sabato Jr.

I'd like to see it again but it's a film that seems to fall through the cracks. It's a heavily flawed gay mystery set in Buenos Aires with more things wrong than right, but still has some charm and a lot of sex appeal (Sutcliffe and Brzezicki.)

^ Don't tell MAGA land that Antonio was in a gay film

R314 - the DVD is on Amazon and it's $20.25 plus shipping.

Also - that isn't Antonio's only gay role. He's had several. One called "Deadly Skies" was shot in two versions - one where he was gay and had a bedroom scene with Michael Boisvert and one where he was straight and has an affair with Rae Dawn Chong. The censored version is called "Ultimate Limit" or "Force of Impact".

I bought up all the copies

THE FOURTH MAN -- Yes, its avail on Youtube but it's in dutch with no subtitles.

The Fourth Man was available with English subtitles on DVD at least until a few years ago. I remember buying it on Amazon.

I'm the one up above in this thread who was touting the availability of these things on Pirate Bay, earlier. I want to point out that I downloaded something from Pirate Bay early last month, and the next day, I received and email from my internet provider telling me they had been notified that "someone" at my IP address had made an unauthorized download, and that it should be stopped of they would be compelled to turn off my internet service...Pirate Bay, when I looked at it then, had a warning directing all of its users to obtain an anonymous proxy address, to do this safely. There are also court cases at the Federal appellate level which have declared that a reported IP address is not sufficient to support a law suit for the claimed offense, but the upshot is that I'm done with Pirate Bay, myself, and am not going to be paying a monthly fee for a proxy, certainly not with my credit card information. They're pirates, after all.

I think it's odd that 'The Hours' (2002) has never been released on Blu-ray considering the cast, the critical acclaim, and the nominations/awards it garnered (Nicole Kidman won Best Actress for this). Maybe it will get the Criterion treatment one day, at least I hope so.

The unrated version of A Dirty Shame. According to John Waters is is the only version worth watching. I had to order an actual DVD and have it shipped to my house like a caveman. A lot of work for a so-so movie. At least we'll always have Serial Mom.

"Morgan" and "Coonskin" are both streaming on Kanopy.

r320 WOW. You downloaded a movie without using a VPN? Did you think this was 2014?

Some VPN companies sell yearly or even 2-3 year deals. Most are totally legitimate if you're paying. I paid $90 for three years and then got $45 back through ebates/Rakuten.

Used it last night to get a movie that people were talking about on here but i couldnt find legally. would have paid for it.

R322 - Well?! Tell us all the naughty bits reserved for the unrated version of A DIRTY SHAME. Did Johnny show us his Knoxville slugger?

Allan Moyles’ 1980 film Times Square with Tim Curry, Trini Alvarado and Robin Johnson. Bit of a cult classic with gay undertones.

Kino Lorber announced a Blu-ray release a few years back - maybe even a 4K restoration - but so far, nothing.

R326 That was on Netflix like a decade ago.

326 - I think I saw it recently on streaming somewhere. Tubi, Shout? You can google search things that can be streamed online and they'll report back on what platform. Roku has the same feature if you have that.

The original 189 minute roadshow version of the 1966 film HAWAII. All the versions I've come across are the 161 minute general release version.

[quote]The original 189 minute roadshow version of the 1966 film HAWAII. All the versions I've come across are the 161 minute general release version.

Did they cut out Bette Miller's scenes?

Twilight Time released the 189 min. roadshow version of “Hawaii” on Blu-Ray. The additional running time includes the original Overture, Intermission, Entr’acte, and Exit music cues, as well as a number of short scenes that mostly show the transition of the missionaries’ motives from spiritual to mercantile.

Unfortunately, the quality of the added roadshow scenes had deteriorated before the Blu-Ray release.

TCM used to show the roadshow version for several years, they without fanfare stopped that, and now shows only the shorter version.
