With the release of Warner's "John Wayne Legendary Heroes Collection" in Germany, I noticed the missing RKO title "Tall in the Saddle". Same thing with the Cary Grant DVDs: No RKO titles from Warner in Europe. The European TCM channels don't show the RKO library either. Does anybody know the rights ownership of the RKO library? Does Warner (through Turner) only hold the RKO rights for the US? If so, who is the owner in Europe? Other sources claim, Turner only holds the television rights for the RKO library...?
As concerns the Paramount rights, I thought all pre-1950 Paramount films are in the hands of Universal. How come that the great Preston Sturges film "Miracle of Morgan's Creek" (1944) is being released on DVD by Paramount? Anybody an expert out there on film rights?
