Anyone know who owns this for sure?
Another CBS film that I thought was underrated was Richard lester's expertly crafted 1984 farce , FINDERS KEEPERS with a very early appearence from Jim Carrey. great comedy!
Another one was the somber 1986 adventure WHERE THE RIVER RUNS BLACK
I believe TABLE FOR FIVE was put out on DVD by Paramount

I'm a fan of Dario Argento and have never seen this film due to it's unavailability and would like my first viewing to be in it's proper aspect ratio, uncut and with decent video quality. This new arrangement with Legend gives me a glimmer of hope. I would love if Blue Underground could get the rights and do blu-ray. Criterion could also have some interest due to the film's rarity and maybe base some specil features around that.
