I purchased a Portuguese DVD copy of "Viva Zapata!" from the Amazon Marketplace. There are some copies available there, but not many.

Please be sure to buy a Region 1 copy. Are you familiar with DVD region codes? If not, please consult this link:

I don't know about DVD format, but I just watched it on VHS. My public library got it for me through the network.

I heard a few weeks ago that Presidential candidate and Arizona senator John McCain has said that this is his favorite movie. Maybe that will bring it to dvd, at least in Arizona.

It appears that it's available in Region 1, as Amazon lists 2 different editions with both new and used copies, very reasonable priced.

Official U.S. DVD release will be November 9, 2010, BUT only as part of an 18-disc set of 15 Kazan films, five new to DVD, ten prevously released. There are no plans at this time to release it singly. Details at classicflix.com
