'All Quiet On The Western Front' DVD - R2

[vardoger]

Anyone know where you can buy the 1930 (Lew Ayres) Limited Edition of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' DVD encoded as Region 2 in the UK? I thought a rudimentary search would have turned this one up, but it doesn't even seem to have been released except as Region 1. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried ebay?

[misk111]

It has only been released as Region 1 as far as i can tell

Can't find it on ebay. It seems strange that it is only available as a Region 1, but the search results seem to prove this. Hopefully a Region 2 will be released soon.

Just found this on Amazon for 9.99 R2

Nope the one on Amazon at 9.99 is the 1979 TV version of the movie. I want a Region 2 of the 1930 Lewis Milestone directed version.

You could decode your DVD player using on of the many net sites and play any region DVD.

hello my friend

i work for a movie magazine and have just seen your posted request on the internet. sadly 'all quiet' is unavialible on region 2 due to copyrighting problems. that and the fact mgm originally re released the video in 2000 and sold only about twenty percent of the stock at rrp. now to find a copy for your collection i can only suggest ordering a region free copy from australia. i had to for the magazines best picture list. we have every best picture winner bar three and are copy was an australian copy. try amazon or google search.

goodluck!
