here can I order the movie Bullwhip Griffin with Roddy McDowall? I
seek a DVD, but a new VHS would be ok too. It is a comedy and I
haven't been able to find a source to order it from that actually
lists it.
Thank you!

Request for Question Clarification by tar_heel_v-ga on 08 Nov 2002 18:12 PST

Rusty27,

The actual title of the film is "The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin". 
Released by Disney in 1967, it starred Roddy McDowall, Suzanne
Pleshette, and Karl Malden.  However, the movie is no longer in print
and has never been released on DVD.  I can provide places where you
can get a used copy, but I don't think you will be able to find a new
copy.

Yes, I'd be happy to get some specific suggestions as to where I can
get a a used copy of The Amazing Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin.
Thank you.

Rusty27,

"The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin" has become one of the most sought
after out of print Disney videos.  Several of the earlier live action
movies produced by Disney are no longer in print, so the market for
used copies is very strong.  This is no exception.

Currently, on Ebay, there are two auctions that are offering the
video:

You can also find the video at The Video Den
(http://www.rarevideo.com/) at
http://www.rarevideo.com/moreinfo.asp?ID=20074

A note about this video:  The price fluctuates widely.  Video Den
offers the tape for $195, so I would assume it is new.  On Ebay, the
tape has sold for as little as $16.00 and as high as $102.50

Some other suggestions I would make would be to post your request on
some of the Disney and movie newsgroups that are available:

rec.arts.movies.past-films
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.arts.movies.past-films

Good luck in finding your film!  If you need any further
clarification, please let me know.
