Hello wojo42,

Here is a site that advertises it for sale on VHS.

"Barefoot in Athens"
Belle & Blade War Video
http://www.warshows.com/Detail.bok?no=67

Another possibility is to borrow it from a library.  A Google search
indicates that several libraries have the VHS.  A librarian would
likely find additional copies on WorldCat or a similar database. 
(Incidentally, my research suggests that this film was released on VHS
in 1983.  The 1983 tape has the same director and stars, so presumably
it's the same film.  So if you come across a 1983 tape at a library or
elsewhere, I believe it will show the 1966 film.)

version, which isn't surprising for a 1966 TV movie, even a good one.]

Thank you for your help.  Would you be able to find a place I may
purchase a movie poster (around 27x40) size of Barefoot in Athens for
a few more dollars?

I usually suggest that a question outside the scope of the original
question should be posted separately to Google Answers.  Still, I'll
help a bit here, though not exactly with a poster.  I noticed when
looking for the VHS on eBay that there was a nice large photo of the
film, which apparently came originally with a press release.

I suspect that barbnjason is correct that there was no poster for this
TV film.  (None showed up in a Google search for: "barefoot in athens"
poster.)  Still, you might contact the eBay seller (cobosto2) to see
if he/she has any information about a poster.  Or, as noted, you could
try a new question on Google Answers.

This was a made for TV moive. I doubt that there is a movie poster
made for it. The internet movie database is a good place to start
looking for info about any Movie or TV show out there. This is a link
that that movie, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197270/
