The film is available for instant viewing on Amazon which means there is someone out there who has sold rights in the US recently. Your best bet would be to try to find someone at Amazon willing to tell you who they bought it from. The last known US distributor was VCI and they are still around and while it never made it to DVD and has been out of print for a long time, they might well still have info in their files. Lastly check the original Variety review for producer/distributor. Your best bet is getting someone at Amazon to help with the contract info.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
