Jonathon, I do love the old ad reels, Over the last week we watched the I.E international series of the world in Flames. All in good condition and sound is very good on all of them, the picture is generally excellent giving where a lot of this material came from. A very good series and the ones we have are war between the USSR & Finland, German invasion of Denmark & Norway, Invasion of Belgium & Holland, campaign in France, Italy joins the Axis, Battle of Britain, campaign in the Balkans, campaign in Crimea, Battle of Stalingrad, War on the sea's, War in Italy, Invasion of Normandy, Fall of Germany, Fall of Japan. It was so annoying for us because before we started buying these, (all new), we asked the dealers if this was likely to be dropped from the catalogues, we were told no, and what happened after six or so? Suffice to say the ones we keep an eye out for are Hitler's Rise to power, The dawn of WW2, Invasion of Poland and The allied campaign in Africa. Although we would still not have all the series it would be enough to make it a really good one, all be it, its nowhere as good as the TV series The world at War. That was a great series and still is today on the re-runs.

Sunday night: Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde,the John Barrymore version,followed by a rare but most unfunny two reel travesty: When Quackel Did Hide starring the most unfunny Charlie Joy. Monday night: The Incredible Shrinking Man,the complete old Derann feature,plus, Howling Hollywood,a middling late silent Educational two reeler, taking place in a Hollywood studio intermixing the misadventures of making a picture,and the picture itself,starring a number of second echelon comics (George Davies,Vernon Dent,Arthur Houseman.

Vidar,for complete prints of the John Ford cavalry trilogy (SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON,in color,FORT APACHE,RIO GRANTE), you must look for american prints, which are complete. They may also exist in italian german or french editions,but,dubbed films I don't care about,so,I don't know.
