Where is "The Devil's Disciple"
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.

Re: Where is "The Devil's Disciple"
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.

Re: Where is "The Devil's Disciple"
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.

My 25 most wanted DVDs: Chilly Scenes Of Winter (1979); The Dead (1987); The African Queen (1951); Johnny Guitar (1954); The Sterile Cuckoo (1969); The Friends Of Eddie Coyle (1973); The Rain People (1969); Abe Lincoln In Illinois (1940); Far from the Madding Crowd (1967); Shanghai Express (1932); Rachel, Rachel (1968); The Tall T (1957); Love with the Proper Stranger (1963); The Wind (1928); Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (1973); The Magnificent Ambersons (1942); Ruggles Of Red Gap (1935); Greed (1925); The Effect Of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds (1972); Ride The Pink Horse (1947); The Pumpkin Eater (1964); The Go-Between (1970); Sons And Lovers (1960); The Criminal Code (1931); Viva Zapata! (1952)

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.
