All, Thanks Anthony. I saw the Margate/TVS stuff earlier, and found it questionable. I found this just googling, (blog: http://jheroes.com/at-the-movies/deadline-usa/) but I’m not sure where his info comes from, but it seems true. Margate and TVS are both nowhere to be found as potential distributors of this film.
The Turner Classic Movies Deadline U.S.A. page<http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/72550/Deadline-U-S-A-/> has cast lists, quotes, a full plot summary and viewer comments. Margate Entertainment’s TVS Home Video came out with a DVD release in 2010, apparently based on a Fox Movie Channel version. It was available through Amazon.com and TV4U.com, including an Amazon online-rental release, but had been removed by fall 2012. For a while, the full movie also was available on YouTube in an unauthorized upload. I remain confused as to how to find this film! BUT the Worldcat listings might offer me a chance to ILL the film for class. I’m sure there are very convoluted reasons for why this film is hard to find and procure!

According to WorldCat, 19 institutions in the United States have a copy of the DVD which was released in 2010 by TVS Home Video, Margate Entertainment.

Hi all, Latest film I’m looking for, Deadline – USA. Bogart, 1952, Richard Brooks, 20th Fox. What’s the deal? Why can’t I buy this in the US (or rent or whatever)? I can purchase it in PAL Region 0, imported from Italy. Hmmm. I know one of you knows what the deal is with this film – I believe something was mentioned about Twentieth Century Fox earlier, but I cannot locate that thread. Thank you in advance for your time. lorraine Ohio U, Athens OH IMDB tells me that Milestone is the distributor, along with Target Films. Dennis, is it you? Target Films isn’t giving me any info on their page either. Best I could find was blurb in NYT 2010 re New York School of Documentary Film, film series, including Strange Victory. Any advice would be appreciated!
