Remember laser discs? They were LP-sized discs, much like DVDs, which contained a movie. Along with video tapes, they were the dominant form of commercially released movies in the early 1990's. A laser disc of The Show-Off is currently for sale oneBay. I know that Diary of a Lost Girl was also released on laser disc. Seeing this disc gets me to wondering. Does anyone have any commercially released Louise Brooks' films on Beta?
