In the last few nights, i've watched some 200ft shorts including Walton's "Crazy Flying". I also ran the complete 600ft Spam episode from "Monty Python's Flying Circus", released in b/w by Canterbury Films.

Good call Jonathan, I almost bought this python 600 footer from Perry's once, then before I sent off the payment I changed my mind and cancelled it, What a mistake [Mad]

I expect another will turn up before long, Tom. I got this one on Ebay. Not particularly cheap but i'd been searching for it for ages. All I need now to complete my Python super8 collection is Holy Grail part 2.

I could only assume at the time it was down to rights etc, a pity as that was a classic episode. The print looks good to.

Hi Bill. Grail part 2 does crop up on Ebay. I bid on one last month but I lost at the last minute, mainly due to the time difference between UK and Australia.
No idea why Flying Circus is b/w. I'm not sure it's a legitimate release, either.It's never mentioned in any book about Python.

... and for the Python fanatics (like myself), you can torture yourself looking forever (like myself) for the super 8 optical sound feature of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"! I once saw this on Perry's Film Lists MANY years ago (so don't start contacting Perry about it, as it was YEARS ago), but being that he sold one, there has to be at least one print out there, and perhaps more!!!

After a long time (due to the fact I've been abroad and then too busy), I was happy to Watch Mickey Saves The Airmail and Review Of 1935. All a year on a 60 meter (200 ft) spool may seem crazy nowadays as we're used to long reviews on TV, but it works and it is enjoyable !

I believe it's the same. I have both versions, but can't say 100%, but fairly sure it is the same edit

Thanks, the Touche Pussycat is a bit more fuzzy than Southbound Duckling, which is a very nice print

Yesterday I saw my 15 GBP cutdown on 5x400' of Duel in the Sun. Was this released as a full feature too, or only a 81 minute cutdown?

This is an odd one, I had the standard 8 50ft silent version of an Arrow cartoon 'Jack and the Beanstalk'silent B&W. I was surprised when I found a 100ft sound version of the same film, it was still factory sealed and untouched, it must have been from 1968,you could smell the oldness of the film and box, just like the smell at the old church hall jumble sales back in the day. It's not the best animation,but it brought back such happy childhood memories.

My friend and I saw the Marketing Feature of Death on the Nile yesterday. Good movie with a stunning cast. 8x400' even if the last reel is only half (13 minutes) for a total of 140 minutes.

Very nice print actually and my friend said it almost as good as a 16mm print. The first Marketing logo is taken before I got the focus adjusted, it's crisp and clean on screen :-)

Regarding the "Spam" episode of "Monty Python," I too have the black and white reel. Mine has the Armed Forces Radio and Television Services logo on it which leads me to believe the original video was converted to film for projection on bases, ships, etc. This may be a reduction from 16mm, which would account for the fuzzy picture quality.

Once again Vidar, you seem to have found the best of the best in terms of the Marketing Prints! Brilliant screenshots.

I shall be in touch tomorrow regarding the postal options for "The Devil Rides Out" [Smile]

Duel of the sun must be on Fuji. It will fade eventually to be purplish.

The Death of Nile seems to be mixed between Kodak SP and AGFA

DUEL IN THE SUN was an ABC release so, in 5x400 and only 81 minutes. Unless some italian complete version was issued,this is the only one.

Have not been to well the past week so I ran a couple of my new titles today and relaxed in the recliner.

Deranns Pocahontas & Hunchback of Notre Dame, both perfect prints without a single mark on them and excellent stereo tracks.

Two I don't have there Jason. Please can you post us all some screen shots sometime in the future when you had Chance to watch them both a couple of times?

It's great when you receive flawless versions of these prints. They really are just superb when in "as new" condition.
