if disney does release this to dvd, it will probebly come out as a walt disney exclusive for disney movie club members only as part of the wonderful world of disney
you can get the fighting prince of donegal, rob roy the highland rogue, story of robin hood, kidnapped and the treasure of matecumbe through them now!! just keep watching the movie club exclusives as they come out. i bet they will release it within the next 1-3 years that way
here lately thats the only way disney is releaseing any old disney live action classics, none are available in stores anymore for some stupid reason which sucks

^One of Walt Disney's earlierst live action movies. It's a great film in the same vein as The Story of Robin Hood and Rob Roy the Highland Rogue. I hope it appears on dvd soon.

SWORD AND THE ROSE (1953)

Image

Plot Synopsis:

The second of Disney's British-produced "historicals" (the first was Robin Hood, the last was Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue), The Sword and the Rose eschews historical accuracy in favor of wall-to-wall adventure and eye-filling pageantry. The film takes place in the court of King Henry VIII (James Robertson Justice), whose sister Mary Tudor (Glynis Johns) has fallen in love with soldier of fortune Charles Brandon (Richard Todd). Mary appoints Brandon Captain of the Guards, which rests not at all well with her erstwhile suitor, the Duke of Buckingham (Michael Gough). Rather than foment court intrigue, Brandon decides to move on to America, only to end up in the Tower of London when Mary tags along with him, disguised as a boy. Mary is ordered by Henry to wed the aging King of France (Jean Mercure), who promptly dies, leaving the girl at the mercy of the evil Dauphin (Gerard Oury). When rescued by the Duke of Buckhingham, Mary is informed that Charles is dead, but in fact her true love still lives, as he proves beyond doubt in a climactic battle with the duplicitous Duke. Sword and the Rose was based on Charles Major's novel When Knighthood Was in Flower, previously filmed in 1923 with Marion Davies.

Was a classic disney film which was released on vhs twice in the 80's and 90's but is long out of print and getting harder to find.

Probablly your best bet is if Disney Movie Club releases it as an exlcusive since regular disney dvd seems to have dropped their idea of releasing the classics on dvd.
