Hi all,
I was recently reading Cubby Broccoli's 1998 autobiography, and was reminded of the commercial failure but critical success from 1960: The Trials of Oscar Wilde, starring Peter Finch.
So far as I can tell, it has only ever appeared on VHS (and possibly DVD http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D56762&utm_source=google&utm_medium=base ) (Sorry about the poorly-formed link). In the event, I have never seen it in any form.
IMDB informs that it was shot in Technirama and color. Because it is from the dreaded year of 1960, I worry that it may be lost forever (paging Bob Harris?).
I wonder whether anyone knows who owns the rights to this film, and whether it exists anywhere in a usable form? Has anyone seen it in recent memory? More practically, is there any prayer of it appearing in blu-ray?
