User Reviews

One of three Oscar-nominated Best Films unavailable for viewing.

EAST LYNNE is one of three Oscar-nominated Best Films unavailable to the general public for viewing. THE RACKET does exist but due to problems with rights remains tied up within the Howard Hughes Estate,unseen for 74 years. THE PATRIOT is lost.

EAST LYNNE is housed within the UCLA archives. They hold two prints, three video copies and three sets of sound disc materials, totaling 14 reels. Both a film print and a video copy are available for individual viewing with an appointment and prior authorization. However, the film has never been released to television or video.

It is hoped that a Fox video release will one day come to be.
