It may be available on retail video, but no longer on 35mm film.  One of
our cinemas tried to book it as part of a '10 most popular films since we
opened three years ago' mini-season; our programmer was told by Pathé that,
due to a contractual dispute, the film was no longer available.

Pity - I rather liked it (pity about that ghastly boy soprano who screeches
his way through most of the first reel, though), and I'm sure it would be
totally killed on video.
