Hello all, I've been asked if I can find a way to obtain the 1931 Warner Brothers film, "Alexander Hamilton," for showing sometime during Hamilton College's 200th anniversary celebrations in 2012. The director was John G. Adolfi, and George Arliss played the title role.
The only print of the film that I've found in existence is at the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Of course, it's a non-circulating research copy, and is available only for onsite viewing. Other than the UCLA copy, does anyone know of another source? I will mention that it's the President of our college who's asking for it, which, I'm sure, won't make a bit of difference to the rest of you good folks. Thanks in advance for any advice you can send me. Marilyn Huntley -- Marilyn B.

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.
