Q: There is a movie called "Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady" -- when will the movie come to DVD?
Straight answer: it likely won't.
Unfortunately, if no one -- namely Universal Pictures, which owns the rights to the 1968 film -- has taken the time to put it out in the 45 years since it was released, it's unlikely anyone ever will.
Surprisingly, the entire film is available on YouTube if you feel like watching it online -- films rarely appear on the video-sharing site in their entirety, but this one does.
