help!

[Roger Macy]

Dear Moe,
Could we take your successful enquiry one step further, please ?

In what country did you see this movie, and do you think it was at the cinema or on TV ?

It interests me because in this country (UK) and others, back in the eighties and before, considerable numbers of foreign movies were broadcast and had subtitles prepared.   They certainly have not all reappeared on DVD.  The broadcasting companies have all effectively shed their public service obligations but managed to keep their titling work, along with much other intellectual property, buried in-house.

So there's more than one inaccessible list this film may be on.
Roger
