Guys, do any of you know what some Universal Comedies such as "What's So Bad About Feeling Good" and "The Perils of Pauline," the latter with Pat Boone never made it out on VHS, DVD, or Blue Ray?
Was it music rights? Quality of surviving prints? Other legal issues? Or were they just forgotten about?

--would love any comments/

You would probably get more responses in the proper section=Bluray/UHD. Perhaps a mod can move this thread for you.

I'd much rather get 1947's The Perils of Pauline with Betty Hutton, a bio-musical about silent screen heroine Pauline White, but that's a different story entirely. Doubt if I'll have much luck as it's a Paramount release and even with their new classic Blu-rays, I'm sure it would be far down their list.

Universal still holds the copyright to 1967's The Perils of Pauline, which they dutifully renewed in 1995. The same with 1968's What's So Bad About Feeling Good , which was renewed in 1996.

Thanks very much, rtdimucci.
