> Of course, it's not on any of the four streaming services I pay for (I'm outside the US so ymmv). And why? Why is the studio hoarding access to this film that probably stopped making them money decades ago when they could just lease out the streaming rights and make something of it?
It will be available to any of those streaming services that the studio deals to take if they want to.
But those services buy x number of titles for y amount of money and your film is very obscure and would not get watched enough to justify a streaming service selecting it.
It is trivially available for an individual transaction, where the economics of making it available make more sense (but not infinite sense, listing/encoding/ingesting etc are not free, and people assume even the most obscure film generates more revenue than it actually does).
