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.
I have no idea when it came out on vhs but i cant find it anywhere. I have made phone calls and searched on the net.

One of my clients is having her 100th Birthday this month and i thought it would be nice to get her this movie cuz it was her favourite novel and she never saw it on vhs.

Soooooo if any of you can help me out or have any idea please let me know..
Thanks

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

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

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.

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.
