I really love this film. I saw there was a 4k screening done in 2015.

It’s a shame that Disney has no plans for issuing Fox catalog films in 4K. I’d love to pick this one up.

One more oddity ITunes only currently has this film available to rent. It can be purchased on vudu, prime, etc…

Same.

Has this happened before on iTunes where a film is changed to rental only and then delisted for sale?

All About Eve and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes are rental only on iTunes now too.

Only saw this movie once on tv, but so long ago that I barely remember it. But I've got a blu-ray of it in my Marilyn set, which I don't think I've ever watched. Maybe I'll play that blu-ray for the first time soon.

1955 was a really good movie year from my pov.
