Searching for an old movie***Needing your help
 

There is a book that has been made into a movie and its called "Hot Money". The author is Dick Francis.

Thats all i know.

This is a really old novel and movie.

try blockbuster.. they can usually order movies for you

ya i tried but its to old of a movie a think :(

How old are we talking here in terms of the movie ?

1934 i think

Hot Money was published in 1987 so it can't be that old

i think that book is from 1934 i need to double check

:dito:
if the book was written by dick francis then it wasn't from 1934.. the guy was only born in 1920...which would have made him 14

i can only find five that were put to film

Dick Francis: Blood Sport (1989) (TV) (novel)
Dick Francis: In the Frame (1989) (TV) (novel)
Dick Francis: Twice Shy (1989) (TV) (novel)
"Racing Game, The" (1979) (mini) TV Series (novel Odds Against)
Dead Cert (1974)

sorry guys..i have no idea why that date is stuck in my head.

A search on imdb.com (Internet Movie Database) comes up with a couple of movies in the 1930s and 40s with the title "Hot Money." One of them is a comedy short, one of them was an anti-capitalism film and the other one didn't have any info about it. Also, none of these are available on video. So maybe some more info is needed in order to find this film. Sorry. :shrugs:

Try imdb coz they tell you if a movie is available on VHS/DVD. :)

The Mississauga Library has some old movies I think. I was doing research there on wednesday with my night school class, and some lady sitting beside me at the computer had a tv screen in front of her face and was watching some old black and white movie.

Did you ever locate your video??

Try eMule. Usually has TONNES of rare movies for download.
