>(1952, King Vidor) on video, although there may be a copy of "House of
>Bamboo" somewhere.
There is (or was a few months back) a poor quality tape of "House of
Bamboo" available. It looked like it came from a panned-and-scanned 16mm
print and even had a visible hair during 15 minutes of the film! The
company was something like Hellfire Video and they released a few other
similar titles. Undoubtedly these are bootlegs but were a tad more
sophisticated than the usual bootleg companies. (For one thing, it showed
up in a local video store.)
