MY OLD MAN'S PLACE (see post in this thread of Nov. 1, 2014) has been released on a limited edition DVD by Code Red. It is only available directly from the Code Red website:

As far as I know, all Code Red releases are authorized. They specialize in films from defunct distributors and have released a number of Cinerama Releasing Corp. films in the past.
SKULLDUGGERY! Boy, I remember going to that when it first came out. I was only ten and at first thought it was the rumored sequel to PLANET OF THE APES (wasn't reading Variety back in those days). Anyway, really not very good of a movie but I'd get it on Blu-ray (in a good transfer of course). I'm more interested in seeing something like COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT finally getting the Panavision release on DVD/Blu-ray it deserves. Or how about THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST? Way long overdue.

Many have commented to me about their desire for Colossus: The Forbin Project on DVD in an acceptable transfer. You may be interested in this:
Well at least The President's Analyst is out on DVD, looking pretty good too (I have both the US & UK releases, I think the US looks the best), & the DVD is really cheap on Amazon.com. I see Amazon have it on instant video in HD, I don't know if it's the real thing. I'd buy the Blu-ray in a heartbeat. Brilliant film.

This is a long thread so I don't know if this title has been mentioned, but after just picking up the soundtrack I realized The Runner Stumbles isn't available in any form other than VHS.

It wasn't, but is now included on the board. Thanks for the recommendation.
I take it you're in the U.S. then as PAL DVDs are standard for the U.K. and I believe the rest of Europe and Australia. Is it that you cannot play them or just don't want to? If the latter, could you explain what it is you find objectionable? As you probably know, others on this thread have complained about the PAL speed up. If you can personally hear the difference, I'd like to hear about it. That is, what it is you PERSONALLY find annoying and if possible what DVD you heard it on. It honestly is one's personal experience I'm interested in, not some technical jargon others have presented as if I'm contesting a known fact which I am not. It's just that many have accepted that DVDs outside the U.S. are inherently inferior based on the word of others (instead of their own personal experience) and miss out because of it, as if entire countries were satisfied watching their favourite films in fast motion. Countless movie lovers are enjoying these PAL DVDs not available in the U.S. including many in the U.S. itself with no problem because they simply found out for themselves that they cannot detect any anomalies.
Two Patricia Neal movies I'd love to see again -after 50 years!- are:
- PSYCHE 59 (Alexander Singer, 1964) - THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES (Ulu Grosbard,1968)
Both films gave been released as made-on-demand DVDs in the U.S. PSYCHE 59 was released by Sony in 2011, and THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES was released by the Warner Archive in 2010. The latter is also run periodically on Turner Classic Movies in the U.S.

Wow, great. I'm glad to know they're -at least- already available in the States!! Now I hope it won't take too much longer until I have the chance to get them here in Argentina, or else!!! Thanks a lot for your concern, Mr. DiMucci.
On DVD, Warner Archive recently released THE 25TH HOUR (1967) and will finally issue OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE (1967) in March...
A most sincere thanks for posting this great news. These slipped by me. Notes have been posted on the "Most Wanted" board. The 25th Hour has been placed on the New Release board and I will add Our Mother's House as soon as there is a cover picture for the DVD.
