I have a somewhat ropey recording of THE CONSTANT NYMPH. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Best of luck.... the Ivor Novello version is wonderful, but a preserved copy has only emerged fairly recently, and I don't think it's been screened outside of festivals for nearly seventy years. I've never heard of the Aherne version being shown...
Bit of a Bay Window, what??

I saw the Ivor Novello version at the National Film Theatre a couple of years ago but I don't own a copy. Hopefully it will be released on DVD at some point.

Will this film's fame and this recent emergence be more likely to foist it into DVD production sooner than later? I hope so - I don't think waiting another 70 years will gain an even larger audience.

I'd love to think so....but as labels are only just getting around to releasing Silent Hitchcock, I doubt Adrian Brunel's magnum opus is going to be on the radar for a while. Shame, as it's great. Ivor Novello is superb, Mabel Poulton heartbreaking, and the support cast...Mary Clare and Elsa Lanchester in particular, great value.

I believe this one wasn't seen for several years because the author put the block on it.

This is one Ivor Novello film I still have not seen sadly and as you say Penfold its most likely not on any release radar at the moment. I am not holding my 'You know what' for any BFI release too.

If anyone does release it, it could be the Bfi....then again, I can see one possible obstacle above and beyond the usual... however chaste the film is, you also have to remember the subject matter; a thirty-something composer eloping abroad with a schoolgirl....all I can say is, keep an eye on the NFT programmes and forthcoming attractions at the Mediatheque...

<keep an eye on the NFT programmes and forthcoming attractions at the Mediatheque...>

This is the way we get to see most Ivor Novello films like the 'Rat trilogy', 'Down Hill' or 'The Lodger~ 1925 version'
