Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Could it be a regional licensing issue? Columbia owning all US rights may not preclude someone else holding the rights in Europe, or the miniseries could have licensed under different terms. The 1994 copyright date suggests that the miniseries may have been sufficiently different to qualify as a separate work. The way the system works here, a copyright licensee can restrict sales to its own version and keep out any foreign versions. That's why you normally didn't see the Putnam version of Reeman's books in the UK, or the Hutchinson version in the US.
