Robert Aldrich was an interesting, albeit workmanlike, director that made some very good pictures (Kiss Me Deadly, The Dirty Dozen), some fine entertainments that showed his ability to make fairly diverse films ( The Longest Yard, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, The Flight of the Phoenix, Emperor of the North Pole) and always brought out something interesting in Burt Lancaster (Vera Cruz, Twilight's Last Gleaming and of course the film I'm posting about Ulzana's Raid).
Ulzana's Raid is not currently available on DVD and I believe was only released in full frame format with a lousy transfer by Good Times Video. This low budget disc now sells for $670.00 on Amazon, I've seen it and believe me it is not worth 67 cents. The film itself though is very good and should get a proper DVD release but for some reason remains unavailable (as does the much sought after Twilight's Last Gleaming) and I'm not sure why this is.
Does anybody know if there is a rights issue with this film and who actually holds the rights at this time?
