Silent Service TV show (1957-59)

Fearless Freep · 03-21-07, 12:07 PM

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/title/tt0050061/
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.

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.
