The Trouble With Angels VHS

This item is a videocassette (VHS) of the film 'The Trouble With Angels', presented by Columbia Pictures. The VHS tape is housed within a standard oversized cardboard slipcase, characteristic of early home video releases. The slipcase features the movie's artwork prominently, displaying a central image of three women, two appearing to be students and one in a nun's habit, set against what looks like a library or classroom background. The title 'THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS' is displayed in a prominent, elegant serif font below the image. Smaller text below the title lists the main cast, including Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills, and other production details such as the director (Ida Lupino), musical score (Jerry Goldsmith), and screenplay. The text is primarily white or light-colored against a dark blue background, framed by a distinctive red border, giving it a classic aesthetic of the era. The 'VHS' logo is visible on the bottom right corner of the slipcase, indicating its format. The overall condition appears used, with potential edge wear and minor scuffs to the cardboard, typical for a vintage media item. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like tears or major creasing on the visible surface, although the full extent of wear on the spine and back is not observable. The item's condition suggests it has been handled and stored over an extended period. This particular film was released in 1966, indicating this VHS release likely dates from the late 1970s to 1980s, when the VHS format gained popularity.

I've examined the provided image and details for this 'The Trouble With Angels' VHS. The item appears to be in used, but generally good condition for its age, with typical edge wear and minor scuffing on the cardboard slipcase. There are no visible tears or major creases from the image, which is a positive. The artwork and text are clear, indicating a well-preserved front cover. Authenticity as a genuine Columbia Pictures VHS release of 'The Trouble With Angels' is readily confirmed by the distinct visual elements on the slipcase, including the company logo, film title, cast, and 'VHS' format indicator. No in-person examination or scientific testing is required to verify this. Market conditions for common VHS tapes, even for classic films, are generally low. While 'The Trouble With Angels' is a beloved classic film from 1966, the VHS format itself has limited collector demand unless it's a rare variant, an early release, or sealed. This appears to be a standard release from the late 1970s or 1980s. Comparables for similar non-rare classic film VHS tapes typically sell for under $20. Factors impacting value are primarily condition (which is decent here), but overwhelmingly, the high availability and low demand for this specific format for this title. Without a sealed condition or a known rarity variant, the value remains modest. A physical inspection might reveal more extensive wear on the spine or back not visible in the photo, which could slightly lower the value, but would not drastically change the overall appraisal range.
