Thanks, Larry,
I was delirious after searching for a feature in my inventory. I'm having a showing tomorrow night and I couldn't find the feature. After disassembling tons of stuff the film still wasn't found. I was steaming . So I gave it one more try and there it was in plain sight. Seems it was about the only one that didn't get fresh leader and labeled.

Dan, is CABARET a cutdown? I am wondering about 5x400 reels! Canīt run more than 75 minutes! Would be great to hear from You! If it would be full length I would be highly interested! Oliver

I used to have that Cabaret feature -- it was cut down. Most of the ABC features were cut to about 80 minutes... I believe most of the musical numbers were intact though.

Michael O',
The Cat and The Canary is red all the way through. I looked for a film stock I.D., but there isn't one. The perf side is clear with letters or numbers.
Oliver,
Brian is right, these ABC Films features time in around 83 minutes. I watched Cabaret all the way through and it is loaded with musical numbers. The color improves with the musical stage lighting.

Oliver,
It has been a couple of years since I watched it all the way through, but I think the musical numbers are intact. Since I haven't seen the original uncut version, I would not know what might be missing.

Brian, I was with you when you bought that and I remembered you were reluctant to buy it since the reel looked short. When you ran it, it was missing scenes. That crummy place on Canal St.; with projectors in a glass case with film still frozen in the projector. I remember he told me " they all run well. Just need to be cleaned". >>>Shakes head.
