Where can you buy 1945 Girl of the Limberlost movie?

Answer 1

Several years ago I was able to rent the 16mm movie: The Girl of the Limberlost, starring Ruth Nelson, filmed in 1945 from an outfit in NYC with the name Budget Films. I see that there is a company with that name located on Broadway,NYC, but don't know if it is the same company. The cost of renting the movie at that time was 75.00. I found the source by originally contacting the UCLA Library of Films which has a huge volume of archived movies, but not this one.(at that time). Perhaps they have since retrieved it. This is an excellent movie which I remembered from my childhood, especially for the scene of the girl's father struggling in the quicksand. It is also a great period piece, with the clothing,shoes, and house furnishings of both the Limberlost house, the Aunt/Uncle's home and also the butterfly woman, who is wealthier than either of the former homes. I wish the film would be made into a DVD for purchase or rental. Only the 1991 version is available from Netflix and is much different than the 1945 version. It was also done in 1938, but I don't know anything about that version, which is available on e-bay.

Good Luck in your search.
