Unable to locate specific movie in IMDb

Greetings...

I am unable to locate a specific movie in IMDb.

The title is: The Sellout
Mel Ferrer (Director), Claudette Colbert (Actor), Robert Ryan (Actor)

The DVD for this movie can be found in Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Sellout-Claudette-Colbert/dp/B00478ED3Q/

Why does this movie not appear in IMDb? I have searched by title and both actors names (Ryan & Colbert) and this movie does not appear in either of their credits.

According to Amazon, this movie is part of the Warner Archive Collection and the studio appears as MGM.

Please advise. Thank you very much! Take care...

IMDb's collaboration search can help in cases like this -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&role=nm0002072,nm0001055

It would appear that the title is an unlisted alternative title for https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042935/

Hope this helps.

Note that there is "The Sellout" at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045135/ -- is there any chance that the DVD and it's cover have been mixed-up?

The on-screen title of the US DVD release is still The Secret Fury:

It looks like there's some confusion here because the Amazon page has the poster for the 1952 movie but the cast / crew of the 1950 movie.

I just read the Product Description that appears in its listing on Amazon and the actors do not match with those that appear at the top of the listing.

Top of the Listing

Mel Ferrer (Director), Claudette Colbert (Actor), Robert Ryan (Actor)

Product Description

Respected newspaperman Haven D. Allridge (Walter Pidgeon) goes after the vicious petty Napoleon who holds a small town in his corrupt grasp. In the midst of his campaign to expose the crook, Allridge suddenly skips town. Is he a sellout, or has his crusade led him into a sinister trap? This bare-knuckle crime drama features a superb in-the-know and in-the-noir cast that includes John Hodiak, Karl Malden, Cameron Mitchell, Everett Sloane, Thomas Gomez, and as a sloe-eyed chantootsie who ends up battered and behind bars, film noir icon Audrey Totter. Like the honest newshounds and lawmen who inhabit it, The Sellout doesn't miss a thing: the film ends with a nifty courtroom-thriller sequence.
