“Play It As It Lays”: Watch Now!
Year in and year out, Frank Perry‘s “Play It As It Lays” (’72), starring Tuesday Weld and Tony Perkins, maintains its absence as a Bluray, DVD or via high-def streaming. No Amazon, Vudu, Netflix, zip. It aired on the Sundance Channel a few years year and then vanished. Every so often someone will post the film on YouTube, and eventually attorneys for Universal Home Video, which owns the rights, will have it taken down. Perkins portrays B.Z., a gay Hollywood producer with a kind heart and a flip attitude.
