This film is not widely known, so finding it on physical media can be a bit of a hunt. There have been a few releases over the years, but they tend to be overshadowed by more prominent titles of the era. Collector interest seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate offbeat comedies that explore crime without taking themselves too seriously. Keep an eye out for original pressings, as they’re becoming more sought after.
