Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze<\/em> \u2014 for better or worse \u2014 is officially available on DVD finally.<\/p>\n

\"Doc
Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze DVD<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a>The 1975 movie<\/a>, staring Ron Ely<\/strong> as Doc Savage<\/a>, used to be available in authorized VHS and LaserDisc formats, but only bootleg versions have been available on DVD.<\/p>\n

But you won\u2019t find the new DVD release on Best Buy shelves, or any other store\u2019s for that matter.<\/p>\n

The film will be available through Time Warner\u2019s new print-on-demand service, which opens the Warner Bros. film archive for purchase from the Warner Archive Collection online store<\/a> only.<\/p>\n

The Man of Bronze<\/em><\/a>, as well as all of the other 154 currently available films, can be purchased as a DVD for $19.95 starting today. (Some films also can be purchased as a download copy for $14.95, but Doc Savage<\/em> currently doesn’t appear to be one of them.)<\/p>\n

From the description, the store appears to be offering the widescreen version of The Man of Bronze<\/em>, rather than the pan-and-scan version that’s often seen on TV.<\/p>\n

So (in my mind at least) the debate begins… Buy a copy just to have it in my collection (and replace the so-so quality bootleg version) or not?<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> So after a few hours of internal debate, I did it. I ordered the DVD last night. (I also discovered that shipping is free.) When it comes it, I’ll let you know about it.<\/p>\n
