We absolutely love this film, and it has to be watched every year just before Christmas. It's an absolute classic. I remember reading once that there was a royalties or licence problem, which complicates re-showing. Not sure if it's true, but copies are rare.
A DVD version was released in America in 2007, but I've had a job to find one. I've tried a few times from internet auction sites, and every one of the DVDs I bought was a copy of the VHS tape, so be careful when buying.
