How come some movies don't come out on DVD--example, "Lord Jim" (1965)? nt

For decades I saw KEATON referenced in connection to it and was curious (really!1 not "enticed"
, and it was unavailable. I finally found it on a Canadian website.
Anyway, any mention of O'TOOLE gets me misty. A few years ago the Oscar people were trying to add luster to themselves and offered him an honorary if he would appear onstage (for THEIR ratings and luster). He demurred with classic modesty but perhaps with subtle cutting (over his never having "won" one), saying, "Oh, no... Perhaps there is still time for me to EARN one?!1"
called Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Some die-hard fans actually found the original master tapes for it, and issued them on DVD. But the show was gutted because each of 130 episodes had 1 or 2 major segments of 'the Wolfman' rocking out to classic rock and 60s pop tunes, which the show never had the rights to use in the first place. 
such a shame.
The New York Times included it in their 2004 Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made, as did Angie Errigo and Jo Berry in a 2005 compilation of Chick Flicks: Movies Women Love.
Bosley Crowther, reviewing the movie at its opening, had nothing but praise for the movie, rejoicing that "at last Leslie Caron's simplicity and freshness... have been captured again in the film." He showered other encomia on Caron, calling her "elfin," "winsome," the "focus of warmth and appeal," praising her "charm," "grace," "beauty," and "vitality." He said screenwriter Helen Deutsch had "put together a frankly fanciful romance with clarity, humor, and lack of guile," and admires the choreographer, sets, music, and title song.
The movie was not universally liked, though; Pauline Kael called it a "sickly whimsy" and referred to Mel Ferrer's "narcissistic, masochistic smiles."
