Does anyone know if this Tinto Brass film starring Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero has had a VHS release anywhere in the world?

[alan tozer]

Not available anywhere. Damn shame. Its companion piece La Vacanza has had a video release in Italy.

Feared as much  at least LA VACANZA is out there.

I've got Dropout, which has suddenly become available from an amateur 16mm telecine.
But my transfer on DVD-R is missing some minutes of video (but not of audio luckily), so we're trying to put our hands on other versions (e.g. the censored TV broadcast, etc.) in order to create a complete and composite watchable version. Quality isn't the best unfortunately, here're some screens

Great to see screen grabs from this! Looks like a must-see

[prospero]

looks VERY interesting. I love early Tinto Brass, Yankee and Col Cuore In Gola are great comic-styled genre-variations. Have yet to see Nerosubianco and Howl, and apparently there's more fantastic stuff to be discovered (and released!!!) from his pre-Caligula-phase.

Lots more on Dropout - and other rarities - at RJ Buffalo's comprehensive Tinto Brass site, including the fact that some of the sculptures in the film later ended up in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
