[Videolib] Looking for The Glass Menagerie on dvd

2011-12-08 Thread Jean Reese
Good Morning, Does anyone know if the Joanne Woodward version of The Glass Menagerie is available for purchase on dvd? Our VHS tape has bitten the dust. So far, I can only find it on Region 2. I found one web site "Forgotten Cinema" that is selling a copy for $14.95, but I've never heard of

Apparently, Universal holds the rights to the Paul Newman directed (1987) film but never has given it a "proper" DVD release. Just VHS (and i think laserdisc). ben -Original Message- From: Jean Reese To: videolib Sent: Thu, Dec 8, 2011 5:41 am Subject: [Videolib] Looking for The G

[Videolib] How many checkouts before a video starts giving problems?

2011-12-08 Thread Foster, Jennifer
I have been in this position for just under three years, and recently, I have started seeing more DVDs give out (skip, hang up, etc.) after fewer checkouts. Right now I have 2 different videos that have been checked out 16 and 17 times respectively. Both have issues that make them unwatchable. We v

I'm doing the very same thing, Barb. At least I still have some film fans in town, and I've passed the list to a couple of universities, who are taking about a total of 150 of our films. Some film Depts. want film for practising their editing. That still leaves 4,000 more to find homes. If onl
