of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch...Ok, here's the story.
First I went on the net to IMDB.com --the international movie database on the internet -- and enquired for the title correctly, since you gave me the correct spelling.
It is listed as a 1970 Norwegian film with no video release noted.
I clicked on reviews and saw that there are some recent reviews. This suggested a video release of some kind was out there.
I then searched the net and found that there was a laser disk release in 1971 which appeared to be a Columbia release which implied availabilty in North America.
I then decided to try my local video rental place -- one that specialized in art and foreign language films -- (probably the best one in Toronto).
I first looked under Norwegian films without success but then looked at their inventory print out. Eureka! They had it in stock filed under UK films???
It is now sitting beside my vcr for viewing later tonight.
Details: It is a Sony Video Software Company release dated 1988.
(Sony bought out Columbia a few years ago)
The tape id is 1157-50635-35
The tape number is K0635.I don't know where you are, but at the end of the tape it gives a phone number for residents of Canada and New York to call for a video catalogue: 1-212-315-5000.
Just call me Mr Holmes!!
