Rayeine · #1 (**permalink**) Feb 13, 07

I've been trying to find this movie called "The Powers Girl" ('1942) on DVD...which features Benny Goodman's orchestra...(the swing scenes are delicious) :) Videomatica was the only place I've been able to find it so far...but Im not looking to rent, Id very much like to own it.
I was hoping someone could point their zoot elbows in the direction, of a lesser known....amazing selection of the vintage movies..that has a vast catalog (for special orders even) in the jazz...swing..musical.....realm. OH!...live recordings too....from the 30's and 40's....i would die with glee closeby.
Longshot? Then shoot me down son!...
I've tried everywhere.

any info at all would be very much appreciated.

Whenever I run into a problem of finding a retail outlet for hard to find flicks I always go the route of ebay.... so far I've never been disappointed!

I'd say go with Blackdog, they have an amazing selection of films.

There's also Happy Bat Video on Main and 15th, equally great selection.

Ya bonehead!

YOU WERE RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!

Videomatica is the best place to _buy_ stuff like this!
They've got sales there, too!
If they don't have it in stock, then they're _still_ the most reliable place to find, order and provide you w/ a purchase copy of WHATEVER you're looking for!
Ring them! They'll be more than happy to help you out.
