Thanks, Sue I get nervous easily these days. I like Alexander Street Press, generally, and think they'll do right by you...IF, as I am reassured, they will offer streaming of single-titles, rather than requiring the purchase of whole collections or sub-collections. I'll be curious to see what

It was released by Cinerama, which was part of ABC which now part of Disney, but I have no idea if they still own it and they clearly have not released it. On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 4:10 PM, Hooper, Lisa K lhoop...@tulane.edu wrote: Hello everyone, I’m trying to locate Ossie Davis’s 1972 film

Well it is a question of if the titles are ones you would want to stream, ones that are or would be used in classes. Otherwise it is not worth paying for the rights whether you do the work or access it. Actually a number of the films I am talking about are classics ( Chaplin, Melies, Fairbanks)
