Yup. Little me gone one also with nice colour. Had quite a few of these and this is the first one I have found to have great colour. I only like it due to Jackie Bisset obviously and its nice to see her in living colour.
Also recorded mine into Stereo from the Hi-Fi VHS tape which is fun. Wall to wall Jackie.

I'm glad someone has a decent copy. I have two prints that are totally red. My 2x400' Piccolo digest still has good color but somewhere out there is that company's rare scope/stereo version.

I could not tell you the condition of mine, even though I have owned it since 1980 - it is still shrink wrapped!

I always meant to run it but the longer I put it off the more it seemed like a good idea to keep one brand new when Super 8 digests were on the way out.

One day I'll buy another copy just to see if I like it - the non-Jackie parts I mean.

Here is a publicity shot from Columbia Pictures showing Jackie preparing for one of her 90 ft dives:

Kind of makes up for not having a copy of the movie!

It definately had the best couple of highlights in it of any digest I ever had.
Best Mark.
saying that At the Earths Core faired pretty well on that score.
Best Mark.
Oh and 1 MYBC too.

'The Deep' is another title that I screened once or twice and then sold in the 1980s. Looks like I was immune to Ms Bisset's charms. Must try and see it again to see if I've changed in the meantime!
