At Last…

As mentioned here before, Paramount is finally (finally!) coming out with a DVD release of the 1959 version of Li'l Abner — the one which, unlike this one, actually starred Peter Palmer and Leslie Parrish. Release date for the gen-yoo-wine article is 4/19 and you can pre-order from Amazon by clicking here. I'm told to expect an excellent wide-screen transfer but nothing in the way of extras…but that's okay. It's priced cheap and at least it'll be out. I'm a little surprised not to see Julie Newmar on the cover since you figure she'd stupefy a few males browsing the video racks…but then I never understand the marketing ideas they come up with for these things. Maybe they just figure heterosexuals won't buy anything with show tunes in it.
