Okay Gang, everyone buy the disc, support it, whatever, but, c'mon Ben, jest keepin' you honest and informed about the advertising:
ONLY extant print of WANTED--A NURSE with the Drews? Hmmm, the one I have must not be considered "extant". With all due respects to my ol' buddy Rob Farr, that print came from Charlie Tarbox's Film Classics Exchange, was often listed on his Christmas Special lists, I know of at least two more collectors who have it. A rare title perhaps, but not THAT rare.
Most likely only extant copy of SERVICE ALA BUNK with Bobby Ray------nope, there are others, those NuArt prints seemed to have sold a few copies. I don't recall whether I have a print of that one or not right off the top of my head, but I know of other collectors who do. I have several of those Tusun comedies in NuArt prints, NEW RALGIA and BACKS TO NATURE immediately come to mind.
NO VACANCIES was in the Mar-lu Television package, and was even on Youtube way back in 2012, as it is again right now:

Now these are all rare and good films, there are indeed other true and good rarities there, and it's great that they should be out on DVD, but lets keep the hyperbole' straightforward guys, sometimes you have to look beyond the East Coast to find more prints of these things.
