I'm looking for a source from which I can actually purchase (for under
$50) a (true fidelity) copy (on either VHS or DVD) of the 1960 Academy
Award winning short film called "Day of the Painter" which was
directed by Robert Prunier Davis and stars Ezra Reuben Baker as the
"action painter."  I believe it was produced by Little Movies and/or
Kingsley-Union Films and has proven to be rather hard to find!

If it's any comfort to you, you're not the only person who's looking
for "Day of the Painter." Some of the comments here may be of
interest:
