Has anyone seen any of the available versions of "Cat and the Canary" (1939), the one with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard? The only one that I can find currently in print is one issued by a company called Hollywood's Attic costing upwards of $20. From what scant secondary information I can find, this version appears to be a copy of a VHS tape, but cannot confirm that claim. How does this issue compare with previous Alpha Video or other issues of the movie on DVD? Does the Hollywood's Attic version even have a menu on chapters? My goal is to track down and purchase the best issue available, whether or not its out of print.

I had always wanted to see this film so I ordered a PAL version from Amazon U.K. back in 2004.

It was one of the worse looking DVDs I have ever watched, so stay clear of that version.
