Las Vegas Nights

Please advise where I can obtain a copy of this movie on DVD or tape? Thanks to anyone who can give me a source of this movie Frank Sinatra's first with the Dorsey Band. It would be of historical interest to see Sinatra, Jo Stafford, and the Pied Pipers. There seems to be a problem in finding a good source to locate a copy of this movie. Would Paramount have a version available to the public? Has it even been transformed into a DVD version yet? The nostalgia of seeing a great bank in movies is important to many of us. Also it mentions in the details that Sinatra did not receive credit for doping the song Dolores. What does this mean? Thanks anyone. Tom [e-mail]
