Liverpool is not the same place as Manchester.

Distant Voices is totally available on DVD in the UK. What's more, it's also available in a box set with his other recent films too. You should be able to Amazon.co.uk both.

Along with A Clockwork Orange, The Devils may very well be my favorite film ever made. WB has no intentions of releasing the film due to its controversial nature, but I hope that maybe Criterion can work out a similar deal akin to the BFI and license the film out. It truly is a masterpiece, and to all those who have a region free DVD player, import the BFI release as soon as you possibly can.

"The Pleasure Garden" is still under copyright, as are all of Hitchcock's British films from 1925-39. It was in the Public Domain for a while, but retrospective changes to UK and US copyright legislation in the 1990s mean that it's back under copyright until at least 2050 (being 70 years after Hitchcock's death).
