Just Imagine?

[ffutures]

The news of the original Metropolis cut being found reminded me that I've been trying to get a copy of the 1930 film "Just Imagine" for some time - it's an SF musical set in 1980, allegedly not terribly good but I want to see what their version of the future is like.

I've seen several reviews which give me the impression that it may have been available in the USA comparatively recently, possibly on tape or DVD. Anyone know anything about this?

A place in Oregon has it on VHS for $20 American:

...and this is a link from a "movie search" company:

Not a price and an item for sale, as such, but they at least want you to think they can acquire it.

Can't play NTSC tapes, unfortunately, but I have no problem with American DVDs.

If you can get hold of an NTSC tape, I can convert it to DVD - as I'm sure others closer to you than Leeds can, but it's a thought.

Looks like a US DVD is available, I'd imagine it's copyright expired so it'll be an off-air recording but for my purposes probably good enough.
