I watched "The Lavender Hill Mob " 400ft cut-down by Derann, I bought this from Phil at Blackpool. No colour trouble as printed on genuine B&W stock very little damage. The editing is very good but the only problem is it ends early in the plot making it seem as if they have got away with it.

I think it was one of the very last super 8 optical sound prints. Depending on the film rating book, it states either 87 or 88 for the year the film came out, and that's the end run for super 8 optical. At least, state-side. I have heard it rumored that japan still had optical sound super 8 all the way up to 1990, (as I have heard that there were optical prints of "The hunt for Red October", though I have not seen of print.)

Nothing like watching Christmas movies to get into the Holiday spirit. A good dose of Scrooge was my catalyst. Got the house lights up and the tree trimmed and watched Reginald Owens in A Christmas Carol (1938). This is my second favorite version...my first being the 1951 film with Alastair Sim.

Beautiful screenshots there Janice and artwork by yourself might I add. Alastair will soon be making an appearance on my silver screen also during this festive time.

An absolute classic along with "A Wonderful life" at this time of year. [Smile]

Janice- My favorite version actually. I've been lucky to have scored two prints of this one, which was rather difficult to find in the beginning. MGM offered an abridged version for schools and libraries, and I kept finding those for sale. The print I have now is gorgeous. MGM was so good at making movies- a great example of the quality that came from the Studio System. I'll be unspooling mine soon as well!

Jack, I have the abridged version and it has some sprocket damage that I'm going to try and repair. I hope to get a full version some day... but happy to have this for now.

A Walt Disney Christmas
Must have purchased that in the 1970's and another of those special reels which holds lots of memories of shows from Christmas past. Gained a line or two and probably seen most projectors manufactured over the years.

My son Darrin is home for the holidays. We snuggled up on the couch last night for It's a Wonderful Life. The quality of my 16mm print is terrific. Jimmy Stewart was so well cast in this movie. I can't imagine any other actor as George Bailey.

Santa Claus (1912)

Bit of a amazing evening projecting some of the super 8 Christmas collection.
Never seen this before but this silent story telling of Santa setting off from the north pole leaving his workers behind and visiting the good and naughty children was really sweet. I believe it was produced in 1912 which runs for about 25 minutes.

Nice film, it seems, Lee ! I have just watched a 1943 French feature Goupi mains rouges on optical sound. I had a chat with the seller and told him I was surprised by the fact that some old films were released on optical super 8 films, as I thought these films were mainly purposed for Airlines companies. He said that Les grands films classiques, based in Paris, had the copyright of many films and released some of them with magnetic and optical sound. It seems that quiet an amount of optical sound projectors have been in circulation...

Hi all,
Yesterday - Christmas Eve - I started with A Walt Disney Christmas - followed by Alistair Sim in Scrooge then the marketing 3x400ft of Airplane had me chuckling. John Wayne in the marketing 3x400ft of True Grit then Disneys The Small One and the great James Stewart in Frank Capra's - It's a Wonderful Life - the day ended with Dudley Moore on Blu ray in Santa Claus the movie.

Due to the complete lack of snow and even traditional Christmas temperatures I showed the 200ft "Walking on the Air" extract from "The Snowman" (Derann) and an original DCR print of "Snowdrift at Bleath Gill".

Nice to read those super 8 films are getting an airing.
I like Super 8 optical Dom with the humble and cute Eumig MO being my fave projector for them.

Screened my newest additions to the collection today-the first Ken Films Star Wars in color! Well, technically it's also a sound copy, but I'm stuck on a silent projector til I can save enough for sound, heh. My copy of Star Wars is definitely a bit faded but still a pretty fun watch and there is still some good color left in things like the FOX logo and the TIE lasers. The editing choices are definitely... interesting, heh. Still confounds me they did a digest with no Death Star battle and no explanation of Han.

I watched The Eagle with Rudolph Valentino. It is a sonorized version but the sound is very poor. I will add the resonorization of this film of my "have to do" things list. But the list is already long :-)

Hey Ronnie!

Don't loose hope, Ken Films did a STAR WARS part 2 400ft, and that includes the last battle, not the full thing, but a very good edit of the last battle. I don't know if the digest you have is part 1 400ft or the 200ft digest, but there were a very few printings on low fade LPP of part 1 and while I haven't seen a low fade print of part 2, there are good Eastman color stock prints of this, and part 2, (with the last battle) was also released in scope!

Watched my very rare print from 2007 on 35mm (The only one i know in circulation) Elvis That's the Way it is special edition over the Xmas period.

Now wouldn't it be great to have this feature film on Super 8 let alone 16mm ?
