Ambersons DVD

Discuss Welles's other RKO films, and the legendary fiasco that nearly destroyed his career

No, this is not news of any forthcoming DVD release...

Today I tried to purchase the french DVD version mentioned in many places on this site. The bad news is it has been withdrawn. But even worse news is that it will come back, but then only with forced French subtitles. I got this news from a French DVD vendor and then checked the Editions Montparnasse website. After bypassing the irritating "you live in the wrong country" messages it is clear. It was available in VF, VO and VOST previously (this is French for "French dubbed version", "original version" and "subtitled original version"), but now it is only listed as VF & VOST.
I sense the evil of AOL Time Warner!!!

Hey Anders,

I know there are sites online that still have the original French release up. I know this for a fact because I bought it less than 3 weeks ago. I'll check where i purchased the DVD from. It was a pain in the butt trying to find a place that still carries the disc.

Thanks Rob,
I have tried to order from another place that (so far) claims they have it in stock. ;)
Where did you get yours from?
