Does anyone out there know if/when this movie will be transferred to DVD? If not, why not?
I saw this as a kid on TV and I've always wanted to see it again, but have never been so lucky.
I hope it will be transferred to DVD soon. I've been waiting for many years to once again hear Van Johnson say, "Come IN, Mr. Evans!!" :)
Thanks for any info!
I am also asking why?? Why are the morons at Fox Home Video
not listening to the public demands for classic movies??!
This gem was not even printed on VHS tape!! And what about
other gems from Fox like "The Egyptian" which was on VHS
but never on DVD? Those idiots at Fox lost a fortune to
bootleg merchants who issued a cheap DVD print from Hong
Kong, and sold it by the thousands. Just as other examples I
might add "Tender In The NIght", and "The Racers" which was
printed on VHS but with 15 mins. brutally deleted inspite
of the cover artwork which claims the full feature time!!??
Few Years ago I got a copy of "23 Paces To Baker Street" from
eBay, but it was of poor picture quality, probably copied from
TV, and even that is no longer available, but you can keep
watching for future release. It is not the moon but at least
it is a star!!!!!
Are you in the UK? It's going to be on More4 on Tues. Oct. 14th at 11.15 a.m. It's a good, rich colour print of the film too (I am watching it now...they tend to show films more than once).
Pretty good film!
Did you see it on Channel 4, Monday April 20th at 1:30p.m.? Widescreen (I mean in original 2.35:1 Cinemascope ratio!) and with stereo soundtrack to boot! I knew it was rare so I recorded it (digitally), though only from Freeview, not HDTV.

(It's thanks to Gordon I was able to stay at home to watch it - well I was up all night preparing for a job application which I submitted in the morning).
I saw this film in the theater when it opened and not since then. I remember I enjoyed it. Over the years I have at times thought of it and told others but as we are discussing, cannot find it. Anyone have a contact, perhaps TCM, to request it be re-released on TV or DVD?
Since I have not seen it since 1956, I would like to find out if my memory is reasonably accurate, that is, a fun film to revisit or as I have discovered, some films do not hold up well and prove to be very dated.

It will air on TCM at 9:30 PM (ET) on 10/16/2012.
sharethank you its been a long time since I asked about 23 paces...
shareI got your note in time and captured the film on my DVR. Thank you so much. I hadn't seen the film since it aired in 1956 and always had it mind to see it again. I enjoyed revisiting but I must admit seeing the film 56 years later proved to me it was not as thrilling as I had remembered when I was of course much younger. No complaints though, thanks again.
shareIt is now available from Spain, of all places!!!! It's the original FOX release,
but with no subtitles in English, however you can choose the film language from
English or Spannish! Look for it in eBay merchants, or order it directly from Spain "www.starscafe.com "!! Good luck!! Why doesn't those morons in FOX release it in the USA?? Also "The Egyptian" and "Boy on a Dolphin" were released in Spain!!!!! W H Y ????????!!!
Region 2 DVD is out on 24 September !
