Ernst Lubitsch's 1932 crime comedy "Trouble In Paradise" (with Herbert Marshall, Kay Francis, and Miriam Hopkins) is one of the greatest film comedies ever made anywhere, arguably the greatest. Yet not only has it never been on DVD; it's never even been available on VHS! Its only incarnation on home video was in a long-deleted laserdisc Lubitsch boxed set.

Since this is a pre-1948 Paramount movie, the rights are owned by MCA/Universal. This is perhaps the best movie that no one can see, and a DVD release is desperately needed.

MCA/Universal also holds the rights to another Lubitsch masterpiece, Design For Living with Gary Cooper, Fredric March, and Hopkins, and--guess what--this has never been on VHS either! This may not be quite as much in demand as Trouble but it also deserves a DVD release.

Lubitsch is my favorite movie director, so it's a damned shame that almost none of his movies are available in the DVD format. Why doesn't Warners release DVDs of The Merry Widow, The Shop Around the Corner, Ninotchka, and To Be Or Not To Be? (I once found a DVD of The Merry Widow that was sold in Hong Kong, but it's never been available in America in that format.)
