5.0 out of 5 stars Will someone explain why this film is not available!??, January 19, 2005

This review is from: Hanging Tree [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This last time I saw this film, which was probably 15 or 20 years ago, it was excellent!
The scenery was breathtaking, and it was Gary Cooper in color!
I remember reading it was George C. Scott's first film, too.
Somebody has the rights to this film, and I guess they're holding out for big bucks. So what.
Does anyone think we'll pay $50 for a DVD? Or $80 for an obsolete VHS? C'mon, people!
The Hanging Tree is a good story, the film was done well and it affords great entertainment.
But, "whomever you are," if you wait long enough--no one will care. If you wait another 15 or 20 years, not enough of us will be around who care.
Can you imagine if there was a Rudolph Valentino film which had not been seen in 50 years? There would be a short line at the Box Office for that one!

This classic is better than 99% of those westerns already on DVD. The acting and cinematograhpy are exceptional, and the story wonderful. We've been waiting for it on DVD ever since the DVD was invented. Amazon needs to place this title on their DVD search engine so that people can sign up for notification of its availability and perhaps that way help get the word out to the powers that be.
