Orpheus Descending and Warner Bros Archive DVD question (and William Inge too!)

So Orpheus Descending, the cable TV adaptation of Peter Hall's definitive late 80s revival of the play with Vanessa Redgrave (which is probably my favorite Tennessee Williams play, and deeply underated, partly due to the ill conceived original production--Williams was mad that Kazan chose to direct Inge's Dark at the Top of the Stairs instead and never forgave William Inge) is finally outon DVD from WB Archives. (http://www.wbshop.com/product/orpheus+descending+1000460484.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=fn) I have a horrible DVD copy I made from a youtube video that has since been taken down, and an old VHS copy, but, despite a few odd TV effects, I really love this production and would love to have the DVD.

However, oddly their shop won't sell to Canada. I've not ordered a WB Archive title before (though I would like to get their Lost Horizon and Picnic as well as Warren Beatty's All Fall Down which has a greatly underated Inge screenplay) but I know several people on here, Besty I think, have. Do these titles usually eventually show up on Amazon? Or does anyone else know of anyway to get around the country issue?

And speaking of Dark at the Top of the Stairs--I believe WB owns the rights. The movie version was a hit (as was the Broadway play, though it seems to be all but forgotten) and yet has never been released on VHS or DVD--despite having people like Angela Lansbury in the roles. Any chance WB Archive might release it--or is it held up in some sort of rights issue? The Inge estate has a reputation for being difficult, but we did recently get the release of the movie adaptation of Inge's novel Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff (which is a deeply problematic movie that whittles the story down to basically "white suppressed school marm is raped by black custodian and she LOVES it so continues"--it is a must see camp movie--and actually a good novel) which I never thought they'd agree to, if they have any say, so...

A couple of years back I re-watched it for a paper I wrote about the history of Orpheus Descending. I think it really holds up.

Like I said a there are a few funny TV moments (they should have just filmed it on stage) but it's largely I believe the production as it was on Broadway (Hall directed the film.) It is unforgettable, and I wish I could have seen it live. I wrote a paper a while back about the history of the play--comparing the changes to Williams' first professionally produced play Battle of Angels (a huge Boston flop that never moved to NY) and how he worked on it for 15+ years, with the help of Kazan only to have it flop on Broadway too from a too literal production Ibelieve directed by Clurman.

Williams (and even critics) said Clurman's strengths for realistic drama made no sense for the play (he even cut the full prologue,) that Aronson (surprisingly but probably to Clurman's desire) did too literal a design and while Maureen Stapleton was good as Lady, Cliff Robertson (!) was all wrong as Val. I suspect it would have worked a lot better with Kazan and Mielziner as Williams' wanted, although in the mid 50s Broadway wanted more realist plays anyway. The Sidney Lumet movie version, Fugitive Kind isn't bad, and stars the original people Williams' wanted--Anna Magnani and Brando. But Brando at that point was badly improvising and ruined many of the most beautiful passages, and Magnani hated working with him and said she didn't understand the character.

This version really is worth owning for anyone who likes Williams. (Ironically the same year, Nicholas Roeg did a TV movie version of Sweet Bird of Youth with Liz Taylor which, while more faithful than the hysterically badly re-written movie version, is only worth watching for camp value.)

And, for the one or two other non Americans who may want to buy this great production--it IS now listed on Amazon.
