Hi All, Does anyone know if The Yellow Ticket is available for purchase anywhere? According to Worldcat there's only one copy in existence and it's at Harvard on VHS. Here's the summary blurb:
"The story is set in pre-Revolution Russia, where Jewess Anna Mirrel bears the brunt of the Czar's oppression of her people. Desperately seeking a passport so that she may escape to America, Anna is callously issued a "yellow ticket," falsely designating her as a prostitute. She manages to overcome this government-imposed stigma with the aid of American journalist Julian Rolfe. Yellow Ticket was memorably remade in 1931, with Elissa Landi and a very young Laurence Olivier in the leading roles." Cheers, Matt ________________________________________ Matt Ball Media and Collections Librarian University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22904 [email protected]<https://mail.eservices.virginia.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=62fe60f092584617be4c37bdfc2dcf42&URL=mailto%3amattball%40virginia.edu> | 434-924-3812
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.
