I really want to get a copy of "Destiny", a 1921 film directed by Fritz Lang. I don't believe it was ever released on UK DVD.

Does anyone know of an obscure film stockist who may have a copy?

It's goin to be a gift so don't really want to go pirate.

Be aware NTSC won't play on a UK PAL TV though regardless if it is Region Free or not...

Best to check your actual kit; most TVs have been capable of 100hz since flatscreens came in so they should be fine to play. Certainly all of my USA DVDs work fine.

It's not my kit, as I said, it's a gift so difficult to check exactly what the kit is.
Will try though.
