I have been waiting for over 40 years for someone to restore and re-release this wonderful movie!!

This film used to be shown on TV (mostly on WGN channel 9 from Chicago). I have been waiting all these years for it to be released to DVD or BluRay so I can own a copy of my own. The acting in it is top rate, and the story is as relevant now as it was the day it was released to the theaters. I love this movie, and I would love to share it with so many of my friends who have come to love vintage movies as much as I do. Can someone PLEASE help me find out the status of this wonderful film, and if it will ever be re-released to the public?? Thanks for any help I can get !!

Wissenswertes
When asked which one of her movies stands out to her, Dame Angela Lansbury cited this movie, saying, "That's one I felt we did a good job with, one that didn't get the attention it deserved."

Zitate
Executive: We sell new machinery. What do you know about drilling equipment for oil fields?
Rubin Flood: Not a thing.
Executive: Then why should we hire you?
Rubin Flood: You chew tobacco, mister?
Executive: I beg your pardon!
Rubin Flood: You talk crops and weather? You know who's had a baby lately? You know who goes to church and who don't? Who likes corn liquor and who likes store liquor? Who's a Republican, who's a Democrat?
Executive: Our methods are a little more modern than that.
Rubin Flood: Well, I'm telling you that the people out here are farmers, no matter how much oil they got in their land. You want to come out of this territory with a profit? You'd be better off taking that diamond stickpin out of your tie and putting a straw hat on the back of your head and a chaw in your cheek! You're gonna have to hunker down and talk business with a man who's cleaning out his pigsty. That's where a lot of sales are made... and it can't be done in a New York suit!
