Sources for rare 1940s movies on VHS/DVD/download?

[Cousin Hepcat]

Can someone reccomend sources for rare 1940s movies on VHS/DVD/download? (I'm already searching eBay & Google; can't find it either place.)

Specifically right now I'm just looking for this one movie:

The Powers Girl (1943)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035206/

Thanks!

That movie is not available on VHS or DVD. Your best bet is to hope TCM shows it one day and you could record it.

This guy has a lot of rarities available on dvd. You might send him a message. I don't know him, have bnever dealt with him, but I've seen he has offered some hard to get stuff. Might be worth a try.

If this is deleted because it is close to posting a current auction, PM me, and I'll send the link.

You can try a pm to lounge member MDFrench. I believe he was compiling classic films and is willing to provide copies to members.

Although Power Girls isn't available on this site there are hundreds of Golden Era B films for free download.

Thanks greatly folks. I've emailed MDFrench, found several videos I like from that DVD dealer, and will investigate the TCM website more carefully to see if it's possible to set up an email reminder for any future showings of a movie not currently in their posted schedule.

[EDIT] Quigley, you posted yours the same time I did will definitely check that site!

Something I'd love to see on DVD is from the 1930s--those "Boy Friends" short films starring Mickey Daniels. They are so cute!

Borders

You can either try your local Borsers Book Store or try http://www.bordersstores.com/index.jsp.
Good luck finding what you want. Some items just haven't been released on DVD yet or VHS at all. I had to wait 4 years before Fort Apache finally was released on DVD and have still been waiting for Robin Hood, Men in Tights to be released. Patience is a must in these ventures.

Cheers!
