I am informed by several folks who seem to know that the Australian DVD release of Hellzapoppin' is region-free but it's also in PAL, meaning that it won't play on most American equipment. If you have a machine that will play PAL format, fine. If not, you'll just have to either buy one of the VHS bootlegs that abound or wait for Universal, which owns the film, to put out a DVD in our format. As far as I know, there are no plans in the offing for this.
