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?

"Just Imagine" hasn't been released commercially, although it is, on occasion, aired on television. We showed it at Windycon on the in-hotel closed circuit television about three years ago. It is not terribly good. I actually have an article about it/review of it appearing in the next issue of Some Fantastic.

I'm mainly interested for the "look and feel" of the setting.
