May finally be coming to DVD

Like many posters here, I loved this movie since I saw it as a kid and have been waiting (im)patiently for a DVD release.

Anyway, Warner recently held a live online chat with a site called Home Theater Forum. One of the questions was about 'Heart is a Lonely Hunter,' which may finally get a DVD release soon as part of an Alan Arkin promotion:

<Louis_Letizia> With Alan Arkin's Oscar-will we see HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, RAFFERTY AND
GOLD DUST TWINS, FREEBIE AND BEAN? Thanks-you guys are great.

<WARNER> We have been discussing HEART and FREEBIE very recently, having nothing to do with
Mr. Arkin's Oscar. So you may be seeing that soon. No likely plans for RAFFERTY as it is so VERY obscure.

You can read the full chat here:
