The time has finally come ... Letty Lynton's copyright has expired!! 2025 has come at last. Wunderbar. Well, not quite.
Warner Bros. still owns the film, I assume, but Warners Archives is no longer in operation, no DVDs being released. That would have made life too easy. I could find only two companies that would be able to deal with Warner and make the DVDs: Critic's Choice Video and Criterion. Neither company is exactly open to film selection ideas from lowly viewers, but I shared my thoughts with them anyway. And with TCM. I figured Warner Bros. was too worried about their staff upheavals to help me out with Letty!
Do any of you good people have a close relative working for Warners?
It is so darn frustrating to want something so much and not have the foggiest idea as to how to obtain it!
Oh, and to be clear ... yes, there are people out there producing Letty Lynton DVDs for sale. They are doing so legally now, but they are still horrid copies. Of course, you would need access to the film in Warners vault to produce a good copy. Ah, to be able to actually see the young Robert when he first leaves his ship cabin!

Critic Choice Video responded to me already! Said they do NOT produce DVD's. Ouch! I stand corrected. But I was right in that I haven't the foggiest idea ...
