You're very welcome Jonathan, and thankyou for your help, ( an earlier posting) I decided to run my recent acquisitions over the weekend in 16mm of "The Italian Job", which was a great advert for Mini Coopers, "The Man Between" an excellent Carol Reed film set in post war Berlin with James Mason and a very sexy Hildegard Neff. Sunday seen me screening "Support Your Local Sheriff" with James Garner in top form, on showing Bruce Dern to his jail cell, Dern asks where the bars are,"Oh they haven't come yet" Garner tells him,"You're Kidding" says Dern,"That's what I said" Garner replies, leaving Bruce looking bemused.The second Garner western was a very gritty tale "Duel at Diablo",of Apache Indians and cavalry fighting it out in some great scenery, and ones sympathy for brave men on both sides.Backed up by a catchy Neil Hefti score, it rounded off a good evenings entertainment.

I received this Standard 8mm print (2 x 400) of Shoulder Arms (1918) from Dino a while back, it's not a Blackhawk print (according to research done on this website, Shorty said "Shoulder Arms came from both Watso Films and Bouchard")
Made to rally the troops during WW1 it has scenes which are so funny one literally has to come up for air. Chaplin's physical humor in the opening scenes of him doing marching drills are hilarious. The scenes in the trenches are dark humor at its best, for example he lights a cigarette by holding it up to the line of fire. What could be routine, corny slapstick, where Charlie uses 'camouflage' by dressing up as a tree is one of the most sublime scenes I've ever seen him do, ending in a chase through a forest. I think that scene alone extended my life expectancy by 3 years.
Dino that is one interesting cache of films that you've pictured, and wish you best in getting that onto DVD/ [ March 31, 2013, 07:34 PM: Message edited by: Richard Bock ]
