Dear Nadine, Sadly, Love Me Tonight has never been available on home video in the US but it's shown on Turner Classic Movies (not TNT) over the years and you might be able to trade for a tape. UCLA did a very fine restoration many years ago. As for One Hour with You (1932), Monte Carlo (1930), The Love Parade (1929), Universal did release them in the US on laserdisc in a package called "The Lubitsch Touch." (It also included The Smiling Lieutenant, If I had a Million, Trouble in Paradise and Design for Living) The laserdisc set was fairly rare from the day it was released. My darling wife Amy and that great, great author of "Laughter in Paradise," Scott Eyman -- you must have heard of him. What he did to Lubitsch, we're doing to Poland* -- searched the entire US until they found me a copy for my birthday. Since the death of laserdisc, however, they (the discs, not Eyman or my wife) might pop up in the laserdisc website stores like Ken Cranes or Big Emma's. At the same time, UCLA restored many of these films and their new 35mm prints were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen outside of nitrate. As for Fox, many of the titles came to MoMA and UCLA and the Bill Everson collection should have a few in 16mm -- they're now at the George Eastman House. Alex Gordon at the Gene Autry Museum saved many of these from disappearing in the 1960s and he is the expert on these films. You might also try alt.silent listserv (after apologizing for going slightly off topic which they're actually glad to do) because many of those people have an expertise on these films and if you made a list of the films you need, they might tell you exactly what exists and where. Dennis Doros Milestone Film & Video *for those who can't read between the lines, Scott is indeed a wonderful author and Milestone's best friend and his biography of Lubitsch is absolutely terrific. At the same time, I can never resist giving him grief or a good Lubitsch reference. Though, I'm told, you can't eat your cake and shoot it too! So they call me...

Likewise, Jane Wither's 1930s Fox 'B' films. I've checked all the major Net distributors with no luck. I understand that TNT shows the early MacDonald films every once in awhile, however I don't have access to that channel as I'm in Australia (this also complicates seraching places like ebay). Any suggestions (either PAL or NTSC)? I should be visiting the US and the UK in the next 6 months, so any archive (i.e. Fox collections)/library suggestions as to where I might track some of their more obscure films down would be greatly appreciated.
