X rated films and other 60s oddities

I recently tried to score a copy of Tropic of Cancer a 1970 movie with Rip Torn and Ellen Burstyn on eBay. There was only one for sale, and on an eBay store as opposed to an auction, for over $60. But if you wait somebody will list one for ninety-nine cents. Sure enough I scored a copy for under six bucks including shipping.
Now the high priced movie I am trying to find is DR SYN: THE SCARECROW OF ROMNEY MARSH, starring Patrick McGoohan. Disney released it on VHS wayback when and recently in a limited edition DVD. The DVD is selling for over 50 bucks on eBay. But I'm going to snag a VHS copy for pennies when nobody's looking.



My colleague Joe reminded me that Tropic of Cancer was one of a couple of X rated films that Paramount released, but since they weren't successful Bob Evans passed on distributing Last Tango in Paris, which of course was huge. The other film Paramount made that had the stigmata of X was Medium Cool. Other studios X releases in the 60s included:
Myra Breckingridge from 20th Century.
Midnight Cowboy from MGM.
Can Hieronymus Merkin .... from Universal
The Killing of Sister George from Cinecom.
