Silent Service TV show (1957-59)

[Fearless Freep]

Hello,

I recently came upon a reference to the Silent Service TV show. I could not find out if it has been released on DVD/VHS. Can anybody update me on this and where to buy it, if possible?

Thanks.

PS. Plug for 2007 SUBSIM Almanac - Only 1/3 the way through and it already is on my MUST recommend list - Get it!!

The best place to look for anything film related is www.imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com)

Take a look at some of the actors who later went on to other things.

Unfortunately the 'Merchandising Links' bar is inactive, which implies it is not available in any form.

Thank you for your interest regarding the Silent Service episodes now available on DVD. After reviewing the information below, please let us know by email if you wish to follow up with an order at which point we will put you on a "reserved list" until such time as we receive your payment, (our mailing address is shown below).
Regarding the Silent Service" t.v. episodes (1957-1963) that are available; anyone who works within our area of past, present and future interest - you are part of our submarine world. We cannot make these episodes available to the general public (per se) as we are STILL in continued negotiations with the "supposed" original copyright owners to get these (78 total) episodes released to the United States Submarine Veterans (USSVI). These negotiations were first started by me over 23 years ago and have yet to be satisfactorily concluded. Bottom line is that NBC, Paramount (and others) cannot agree on which one "if any" own the copyrights after these +/- 50 years. And no, they are NOT available anywhere else on this planet.
