I’ve looked all over the net and am unable to locate a vhs copy of the movie, “Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell,” from 1951. I’m also unable to determine if indeed this exists in vhs format at all. Can anybody point me towards a retailer that “has it all”–if this is allowed on this Straight Dope–whom I can contact. Suncoast was of no help. Many thanks. ---

According to the [Internet Movie Database](http://imdb.com/), the movie [Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0043820) is not now and (if I’m not mistaken) has never been available on VHS or any other media. Sorry. ~~Baloo ---

Foothill and Grapevine both specialize in old movies on VHS—things you can’t find anywhere else, like silents and otherwise unreleased films. I’m sure they both have Web sites, if you want to do a search for them (or pick up “Classic Images” or “Films of the Golden Age,” where they both advertise). ---

“Video Yesteryear” has a great set of obscure movies on video. If you want unreleased-on-VHS movies, wekll, there are folks who sell movies that they shouldn’t. Check ads in the back of magazines like “Filmfax”. ---

Diet, this movie is not available in any format. The poster is available at: [http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/exchange-glance/Y04Y1600254Y9076405/qid%3D975354371/105-0227189-4973512](http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/exchange-glance/Y04Y1600254Y9076405/qid%3D975354371/105-0227189-4973512) ---

Well, thanks to all for looking. I figured that if it existed in vhs, you all would know about it.
