Joe Hill : Searching for a copy

As with so many of Bo Widerberg's repertoire, it appeas that this film is virtually unavailable for home theatres. Still, I noticed other people have had some luck tracking down a copy - legal or no - so I figured I'd give it a go. If anyone can obtain a copy, through shady connections, primo hunting skills or dark magics, I would very much appreciate it.

Hi .
Saw Your question for a copy of Joe Hill.
I have got one original copy. Ditributed by Prisma Film.
Get in touch if you still are interested.

I saw your reply to the inquiry about a copy of Joe Hill from 1971. I was a student in Sweden at the time and myself and friends were extras in the movie. If you still have access to a copy, I would be very interested in purchasing it. Thanks, Jill

Looks like you may have already received a copy of this film. If not, I have a bootleg copy I bought a year ago.

Wonderful news for all those searching for a copy of Bo Widerberg's 1971 film Joe Hill!

It is now available on DVD in a newly restored and digitally remastered English-language version, produced in August 2015 by the National Library of Sweden.

It comes in a 6-DVD boxed set of Bo Widerberg films, and can be ordered from the library.

an outfit called moviedetective.net handles a lot of obscure out of print and otherwise unavailable films. Facets a non profit out of Chicago which has a DVD by mail service rents many of their releases. Netflix doesn't carry them. And you can buy them directly from their website. A caution these tend not to be first rate transfers but at least you can see the film you otherwise you might not have been able to
