Superb film

I,like Tommi above, taped this years ago off of PBS and my copy is very well worn.
Why is this not on DVD??? It is such a superb documentary, and one that absolutely entertains as well as informs. Friends of mine have begged to see it over and over.
Further, it won the Academy Award as best Doc!!!! What gives? There are enough one-liners in the first hour from Dorothy Parker and crew that for zinger fodder alone it should stand tall!! But it also presents such a perfect glimpse into that rarefied, wonderful world of the Jazz Age, between the wars and in the best city on the planet. This film shows WHY New York was and remains what it is.
