I've just watched the French version of a film from Sergio Leone : Le colosse de Rodhes (sorry, I couldn't find the English tittle of this French/Italian/Spanish film). The colours are still good, which was a good suprise as I hadn't screened this film for a long time. I respooled it on a 360 mt/1200 ft spool and used my modified Sankyo. Although, it's not a Derann like quality, the picture is far to be bad. The 1.0 lens probably helped but I think the Hefa made a good job (also, they put two horizontal black stripes that are still black, so the effect is good). The editing is however another thing : the original film is over two hours, so they sometimes cut quite quickly some scènes. But the all together it is nice to watch (and I'm happy with an abridget version as the original lenght would maybe have been too long).

Osi yes The Wombles are very British. I'll let you into a secret, back in the 1970's as a boy I toured with the live action stage Wombles, also filmed some of our rehearsals on Std 8mm. That'll be about 40 years ago me thinks and very fond memories for me.

Worth looking up a Super 8 print of any of them Osi and quite a novelty if projecting to todays youngsters. [Smile]

continuing on we watched a wonderful reduction print of Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein (1948, 2 x 1600 B/W 16mm) and the the wife put down her foot so we watched a romantic comedy called Guest Wife (1945, 2 x 1600 B/W 16mm) with Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche in what appears to be someone's attempt to recapture the spark and success of 1939's Midnight

A French classical film : Drôle de drame with famous actors. The film is dated 1937 but looks younger. My copy has an optical soundtrack and I screened it with my Fumeo.

Poltergeist II and Ichabod & Mr Toad, now there is a combo not often seen on Super 8mm anymore!

Screen shots to follow in High Resolution elsewhere if anyone just so happens to be interested.

What a fantastic line up there Mark!

I love Eddie Murphy films and 80's films in general.

Ps, John, just jump on board if such topics of conversation on eight interest you. There are many to peruse from lots of different people.

Two newly acquired (yesterday, in Roubaix, at the cine fair) cartoons : The Prince And The Pauper and Mickeys's Christmas Carol. The second title will of course become a permanent guets on my films to show for Christmas list. The fantastic bonus is that both films are in French.

Two superb titles found there Dominique, and no need to record the track!

Someone's already done that for you! [Smile] [Wink]

They are both great for showing around Christmastime BTW, not just Carol.

Just like Dominique, I bought some new films in Roubaix, two excerpts of Les grandes vacances (Louis de Funes) from Film Office are the best ones.
Next to these, I projected tonight Rebel without a cause (James Dean) from UFA film (in German). The film has still good colours. 3 x 110 meters length.

Wow, looks terrific Nick! As indeed does the projector. [Big Grin] [Wink]

That's a brilliant title to find in such condition Nick, a real classic! [Smile]

Thank you, Andrew, and nice to hear you again! I could not post the films without the projector, no film without the machine [Wink] I am glad indeed to have this relatively well-known film on super 8, it is one of my "keepers" for sure!

Andrew, the french dubbing was made by a professionnal, Jean-Marc from the forum.
Nick, I'm glad that you're happy with your film and I see your collection is growing :-)
Tonight, I watched a film office 15mt (50 ft) Advertisment (colours are still good) and The Guilty Men.

Over the weekend,

I screened my marketing print of "Marathon Man" with Dustin Hoffman,Laurence Olivier and Roy Scheider - its mounted on 3x800ft - the complete print and its a scorching thriller with wonderful performances and a brilliant script by William Goldman

Last night I ran the 16mm print of 'Born Again', the story of Charles Colson and his imprisonment because of 'Watergate'. Beautiful print with excellent colour on an 8' screen with almost 30 in the audience. They love coming to the monthly film shows and when I announced that next month (among other things) I'm showing a chapter of 'Flash Gordon' there was great excitement.

Last night: the first 1200 feet of "The African Queen", with the last 800 Feet tonight.

-maybe I should get a bottle of Gordons!

(Especially now that she's dumped all of his over the side!)

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

David has one of my dream prints there with the full Marketing release of Marathon Man. Really brilliant film and a superb performance from Mr Olivier.

One I so far have only ever managed to find the 3x 400ft abridged version.

That one of Steve's ain't half bad either! [Smile]

Happy viewing there gents.

A 100 ft(30mt) Universal Eight release of Jesus Christ Superstar (You actually have the theme song). It is pinkish but I had a big improvment using a filter so it was well enjoyable. Then Highlights Of Famous Fights. The bad surprise with this Castle Film edition was that the picture is reversed (Mirror effect). Not too disturbing for box scènes (that's what the film mainly consits in) but all the titles are on the wrong side. Then Clock Cleaners, the wekk known Walt Disney's cartoon.
