This lovely well acted film stars 3 Super Star actors in good form & one of the few times Kirk Douglas & Burt Lancaster acted together in the same film. So why isn't this film on DVD? It has been a favorite of mine for nearly 35 years.

Seems like at this point you & I are the only ones interested in seeing this released.

I would buy it, too. However Jeff, I must correct your assertion that this was one of the "few times" that Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas worked together in the same film. All in all, they made 7 movies together-not exactly Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer, but a good run nevertheless.

You would think somebody at the studio would say this would be a great as part of July 4th movie promo since it is about the Revolutionary War.

I'm sure a lot of people (myself included) would snap it up if it were available. It's not, however, at the top of my wish list (it is, literally, 311th) so I have to save my astounded apoplexy for other (actually, 310) films. But I do hope its released.

I stand corrected. I thought it might have been a couple less.

I'm primarily a catalog title buyer. And considering some of the pure Horse Manure that gets released, I just find it hard to believe that a wonderful film like this stays in the vault.

Re: Where is "The Devil's Disciple"

I'd get it if it were available. Besides Burt and Kirk, Laurence Olivier is on hand and pretty much steals the film. It also had a nice music score as I remember. As the movie was based on a George Bernard Shaw play, one of the taglines used to promote the film was "Burt, Kirk and Larry are coming-by George!".

I am kind of in agreement with ted:r that it is not really near the top of my list, but I'd still be glad to see it.
