Hello Randal,

When I follow the hyperlink in the OCLC record, I am taken to 
http://search.alexanderstreet.com/view/work/854686.

This video starts with Genevieve Bujold sitting on a flight of stairs.

Here are the credits listed underneath the video:

Antigone

written by Jean Anouilh, 1910-1987 and Lewis Galantiere, fl. 1956-1974; 
directed by Gerald Freedman, 1927-; produced by Jac Venza, fl. 1962-2005,
Public Broadcasting Service (PBS); performed by Genevieve Bujold, 1942-, Stacy 
Keach, 1941-, Leah Chandler, fl. 1974, James Naughton, 1945-, Fritz Weaver, 
1926- and Betty Miller, 1925-2004 (Broadway Theatre Archive, 1974), 1 hour 29 
mins

It is also listed here, along with the one that you found:

Michael, are you sure that your streaming version is the WNET production of 
Antigone, from  Broadway Theatre Archive.? the same as the OCLC record shows?

I get a few versions in ASP, but don't find WNET. I get this one, the Juliet 
Stevenson version:
http://search.alexanderstreet.com/preview/work/657633<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__search.alexanderstreet.com_preview_work_657633&d=CwMFaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=8VvbXRlxxJ4xGefaU9vA5gCatQC192ZkgP8fXwd6TOc&m=Ci4-UlJ_CRW96RWcJSPV__2dT-PL4PbixMRoIIkDzic&s=YMa67LV5x6_437Gwk90slyXtQoQ9MeS-XTFJCDgIuzo&e=>

And another one from Active Mind (1990). And so student productions.

I ask because when I search on the ASP site for BTA, all I get is two results 
from BTA, a version of Hamlet and "The widowing of Mrs. Holroyd."

Maybe these are older listings. Here's what is listed on the BTA Streaming 
site, but not the WNET:
https://www.broadwayhd.com/index.php/shows/watch/Antigone#sthash.p9W2hmVz.dpbs<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.broadwayhd.com_index.php_shows_watch_Antigone-23sthash.p9W2hmVz.dpbs&d=CwMFaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=8VvbXRlxxJ4xGefaU9vA5gCatQC192ZkgP8fXwd6TOc&m=Ci4-UlJ_CRW96RWcJSPV__2dT-PL4PbixMRoIIkDzic&s=vZ02XnB5EceVDUDVYi4fvFC2qpLAN10ZVO1oJLPL9EE&e=>

Anyway -- I think a lot of ASP content is from various versions of their 
products, I'll just call them to confirm, with any luck, the WNET version is 
also available from streaming. The WNET version is available as DVD from BTA.

Sorry to confound things, just trying to get some clarification. Bear with me!

I'm looking to see if the WNET version (Keach, Bujold, et al.) is on streaming

Hi Folks,

Completely informal straw poll-- Cadillac Desert continues to be incredibly 
popular on our campus and I regularly receive inquiries from video librarians 
and teachers who are desperately trying to purchase new replacements for their 
VHS tapes (the set is not currently in distribution, though the filmmaker, a UC 
Berkeley faculty member, has long been hoping to re-release it).

For those who might have convenient access to circ statistics, I would 
appreciate hearing back off-list by Thursday evening how many times the 
programs have circulated at your libraries-- and if the series continues to be 
popular today.

Many thanks,

okay as far as quality is concerned. A few other websites sell this version. 
But Region 2 PAL versions won't play on most US DVD players. What we sell is

Then of course there are the sites selling bootleg copies - that is to say, 
copies made in the basement on a computer. We've checked these out too and what 
we've received are plain DVD-Rs (no case, no cover art, just the name of the 
movie scrawled in magic marker on the face of the DVD). You can purchase from 
these sites if you want, but expect problems. Bad picture, bad audio, skipping. 
And good luck trying to get your money back from the seller of these bootleg 
DVDs. They simply take your money and run.”

I do not believe that their definition of ‘bootleg’ is the standard legal 
definition.

I do not believe that their definition of ‘bootleg’ is the standard legal 
definition.

ZERO chance it is legal. There was a legal release in the UK on PAL VHS back in 
the day and one in Japan on laser Disc. Those are the only legal copies. 
Needless to say there are a ton of pirate companies out there and have seen
SONG OF THE SOUTH out there but this is black and white , the copies are not 
legal.

Greetings everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has worked with Red Dog Video. They claim to be able to 
sell Song of the 
South
 which is still locked up in the Disney vault. Needless to say I’m quite 
suspicious about them but their “About us” page is everything except for 
information about the company. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello Matt,

Amazon.com Japan lists this title:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=%E6%BD%AE%E9%A8%92++%E8%A5%BF%E6%B2%B3%E5%85%8B%E5%B7%B1&rh=n%3A561958%2Ck%3A%E6%BD%AE%E9%A8%92++%E8%A5%BF%E6%B2%B3%E5%85%8B%E5%B7%B1

All of the formats appear to be entirely in Japanese.  If you are needing a 
version with an English language track or subtitles, I have not found one.

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can order a copy of The Sound of Waves, the Katsumi 
Nishikawa film based on Mishima's novel?

Many thanks,
