Okay, a few updates:

The print has been shipped and is safely in the hands of the person who is going to scan it. With any luck I should have some still images to post in the next week or two.

I've been doing some more research on this movie and the only mentions I can find of it playing theatrically are in the New York Times. There are no references in Variety, the Chicago Sun Times, or any of the other big publications. So I'm thinking it might have only played in New York. If anyone finds any mention of this movie playing in a city other than New York please let me know. 

So far I haven't found anything to indicate that I Am the Cheese was released outside of the U.S. For our non-U.S. members, have you seen any video release of this movie? Was it ever available in your country?

I've collected all of the home video releases now (1 VHS release in 1984, 1 VHS release in 1994, and 1 DVD release in 2005) and they are all definitely made from the same video master. So, in all likelihood this will be the first video transfer of this movie since 1984, and most likely only the second one ever made.

And don't forget, it's not too late to donate! You're help is definitely appreciated.
