Hi everyone. I am currently writing a thesis on the films of Douglas Sirk. The section that I am working on now is based largely on the screening notes that I took during the 1997 Sirk retrospective organised by the Ontario Cinematheque in Toronto, since I have not been able to obtain a video copy of his 1936 film "Schlussakkord" or "Final Chord" through regular commercial channels. Does anyone know where I can obtain a video copy of this pivotal pre- Hollywood work (the only one of the director's German films with a contemporary setting)? It doesn't matter to me if the copy that you might have access to has English subtitles or not, so a version taped from German television would suit me fine. Any tape that I manage to obtain will be used for my private research only, and I will gladly pay any dubbing and shipping costs involved.
