Jarred, the key words in Elmo's question are "legitimate commercially available" as in lawful and authorized. What you're talking about is an illegal bootleg. I hate to be a killjoy, but lately there seems to be an increasing number of references to them on the board. My suggestion would be to avoid this topic; many boards don't even allow them to be mentioned.

It might not be a bootleg though. (Even though I have a suspicion it probably is) Some videos are released in limited conditions, depending on how much money a company has to spend. And if there was a legit video out, it would most likely be out of print by now. So that could account for why you wouldn't walk into a video store NOW and buy a copy. But you would probably see more copies on Ebay...

I totally agree with ya bliss....i'm not even going to get started on that documentary. I dont think it is a bootleg though because it has titles and credits on it...and most bootlegers dont do that kind of thing....i mean it looks like a pro company did it because its all from differnt angles and theres no audience sounds.......so i dunno, but for my own safety i guess we should stop talking about it

eww I won't even go see farenheit 9/11 because I can't stand Michael Moore. In fact, I loathe and despise him.
It's too bad Arthur Laurents is such an ass. Talented yes, but an ass (which I use because it's more appropriate than what I would like to say if this was not a forum that younger fans visited) none-the-less.
He put such a damper on this past production of Gypsy.

Here's my question,and forgive me if it shows my stupidity on such matters,since I am not involved in the theatre. Does the librettist of a show normally have such say-so and power as Laurents seems to have for Gypsy? From what I know,that's usually not the case (I'm more familiar with the composer/lyricist or his/her/their estate/organization having the rights,for example.). Why would he be the person to decide matters concerning this show than,for example,Jule Styne's estate or anyone else in the creative team-the Robbins estate or Sondheim? Was something decided many years ago? What am I missing? I've wondered this for some time,and I'm finally asking it. The book is fantastic,but why does he get to decide such matters,or is it a case where if one person of the team nixes an idea,it's a no-go?

Why would he have a problem with it? Afterall, isn't he to thank for suggesting Ms. Peters for this role? I don't understand why he wouldn't want to preserve it. Grrrr!!!
Hope to see you at Broadway Barks!

Did you all hear my SCREAM!!! after reading this thread this morning????
There was actually a taping, a la "SundayITPWG" and "Into the Woods," in the works for PBS and it was squashed by Laurents?!?!?!
#@%$#&!$@![harsh words]*SOB@*($&%^#(*)#!!
Because it wasn't how HE would direct it?? or what??
I don't get either how he could put the kabosh on it. Styne's widow was at the cast recording session, and Sondheim was a certainly a supporter. Isn't that 2-to-1??
ARGGH!! I could just spit cotton.

She said that to Joan Rivers I have it on tape. She was on The Tonight Show and Joan said "Bernadette you're beautiful but show us some cleveage take off your jacket" and Bernadette kind of smiled and said "Take off your jacket".
