Can’t find it anywhere except a dated dvd releaseNo clue, Apparently There's a german bluray that was released in May, which as near as i can tell is the first HD AOR transfer its ever had, but I ended up doing a Cinemax trial to watch it last night, only way to find it. I'm sure whoever owns it will be working on a release now. even the stream from Cinemax is cropped SD release. i'm not sure who owns it now, but it was produced by HBO and distributed by Tri-Star, so it honestly could be either Sony or Warner at this point. That being said, in order of likely blu release i'm gonna guess...

Warner Archive (if they own it)
Arrow - would be a perfect fit
Shout - runner up, but not unlikely, especially if the UK vs US rights split between them and Arrow like they tend to.

I honestly don't think we'll be getting a US release anytime soon but I hope to be proven wrong :)maxlevel wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 1:19 pm @hatter what’s the story with the Hitcher?

A sort of kids show in black and white from 1969 starring Rutger Hauer as Floris and directed by Paul Verhoeven.
Also an excellent score but I am unable to find a release.
