Scalawag (1973)

The Kirk Douglas pirate film Scalawag, which was released in 1973 and is completely impossible to purchase or hire being out of print and not available on either DVD, VHS or even on the old Betamax format. So I hope that YouTube will allow this video to remain on their site, it's not as if it being there will reduce any DVD sales as there arn't any!

I`m not agree with MrLimeyBob commentary. Two years ago I buy this film in VHS format edited by DSA Scandinavia aps and he is in very good condition.

@percelada Well that must be an old second hand VHS copy of this film! What i meant to say was that new copies of this film are no longer being manfactured and sold. To my knowledge they stopped making VHS cassettes here in the UK several years ago.

I have wanted to see this for years I remember it air on tv years ago when I was a kid and I missed it. It is hard to find any where . Thank You

@learntoplay100 I'm glad that you've enjoyed this film, I remember seeing it as a kid and at the time I enjoyed the way in which the characters suddenly broke out into song. I also like Danny DeVito in this film and i still remember laughing as he crossed names off his 'share of the treasure list.'

The tune appears with vocals at 56:39 in this film. Lovely tune, sung by an equally lovely girl (Lesley-Anne Down), but her delivery's a bit breathy and cuts her notes short (should be more legato). This movie was made in Yugoslavia, by the way. Yes, Kirk is hammy, but the editing is what really kills this picture.

Thank You So Much for uploading this incredible lost gem of a film! Kirk ROCKS as usual and the cast & crew does an admirable and amazing job with the script. Bravo!
