Three missing from DVD

In addition to the obvious classics still not available on DVD ("King Kong", "Harry and Tonto", the Turner restoration of "Greed")
there are many lesser films that really should be issued in the DVD format. Three are:

"Pride of the Marines", which traces a young man (John Payne, I think) through the late depression and into WW II, where he sees combat as a Marine and is severely injured.

"The Dark at the Top of the Stairs", the William Inge play about a turn of the century harness salesman (Robert Preston)whose career and marriage are under great duress (Eve Arden wonderful in this as a racist relative).

"A Death in the Family', the James Agee story about the effect on the prudish widow and small son of the death of their breadwinner (Preston again) in an auto accident.)

I'm sure other folks have contributions here (I'll add two more, the two versions of the Fanny Hurst tearjerker, "Back Street").
