Trying to find a way of viewing this movie outside of going to an on site archive: for those who has reviewed this movie, how did you see it? Is there a physical or digital copy available for a wider public?

Im a researcher in media studies and early modern drama so I'm trying to find this production as part of that. I have seen no evidence of this movie on dvd, vhs or streaming: I know it's at UCLA, Paley and the library of congress but the review that has been posted here suggests there is some sort of way of the broader public watching the movie so I wanted to know how the reviewer saw the film and where I can access it? Thanks.

This movie is ghastly. Yes, it's well acted,especially the child actors, has some funny moments and the baby sub-plot is quite cute. However the movie's overall sexism makes it a miserable experience, especially when the absolute creep of a husband is portrayed in the right, despite the horrible things he does to his wife, and the idea of women working is never intelligently discussed, just dismissed as stupid because men don't like it. When it does give reasons, which are acted out,they are really contrived which doesn't really help their argument, especially when it seems like their clutching at straws. A lot of movies of the time show this not the public consensus yet it still baffles the mind that it was allowed, especially since this was the 60's, where such things were becoming more frowned upon. Another thing is that it seems like several episodes of a sitcom spliced together, with all the clichés and weak gags that age of sitcoms, which would include and this also means that the film is just going from scenario to scenario, with no thought of pacing or coherence. The characters, who are not the husband, are one-note and the music is bland but, again, this is nothing in comparison to the sexism.
