Excellent news. It's a cracking little comedy and it will be great to replace my blurry bootleg That's three Robert Donat films coming out on dvd soon . Now can someone release The Cure for Love please

[orpheum]

It is already available on vhs from Nostalgia family Video.Unfortunately many of these 30s titles are only available in what is effectively an abridged version as british films tended to be cut down and used as co or second features.often all we can see is a butchered print.

I'm afraid this is another bootleg that also happens to be missing 11 minutes of footage.

Alpha Video is a real cut-price company, with the quality of the prints used comparable tp that of Prism in the UK. Their dvd of the 1940 version of Tom Brown's Schooldays with Cedric Hardwick certainly left a lot to be desired, and I would guess that the print of Cash that they have is probably the same or similar to the one used by Nostalgia family Video for their VHS release.

So no Charles Barr commentary then? Oh well, I'll save my money until someone reports on the quality then. Thanks both.
