I think the film is in public domain.

William Powell only did 4 Philo Vance films, with several actors taking over the role in later films. Most famously Basil Rathbone and William Warren. Buzz is there may be a box set, but my guess would be; with costs of restoration involved etc., that it will at least be the first 4 Powell films. If those sell well then the others may come later.<BR/>Stay tuned to the Shelf for more updates.J.C.

The site does not confirm the format (DVD/VHS). I have the "Kennel Murder Case" on DVD so I know that one is out there. It is a horrible print, though. Since a large portion of the 'Vance films' that Powel was in were done prior to that one, I wouldn't count on any better from them. If the new Powel/Loy set does well, we may see these great films remastered in the next few years. "Life With Father" is available now on DVD. You can even pick it up on a double feature with "My Man Godfrey" at barnesandnoble.com for less than $10. Don't count on any features though. You can also get the Philo Vance radio shows on cd now. Loophole may come up with more info in the future about a Philo Vance box set as he has his finger on the pulse of DVD releases so make sure to keep checking back!Wolf Flywheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908302745535025296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517589.post-44231651321661690562007-05-11T21:31:00.000-05:002007-05-11T21:31:00.000-05:00also preordered the powell/loy set. just curious i...also preordered the powell/loy set. just curious if you know if they will ever release powell's life with father or the philo vance films on dvd? anyone know?<BR/>also the radio show was good. the thin man became a regular radio show for a while i think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517589.post-25489042911641287052007-05-11T12:01:00.000-05:002007-05-11T12:01:00.000-05:00Thanks for the preview of the William Powell and M...Thanks for the preview of the William Powell and Myrna Loy set, and thanks for the radio shows!
