Three Railroad Films:

Texans in Vermont
Name Trains of the Rio Grande
Colorado Central and South Park

All Sunday River Productions, all Black and White and Silent, all filmed by Albert G. Hale between 1937 and 1955. The last print I've had since the late 1970s.

So what? This amateur filmmaker had an adventure across the 48 States and filmed some of the great lines in their last years: just a young guy and a 16mm camera recording history while he had the chance.

Every so often I like to stow the anamorphic and turn off the sound and join him going places and seeing things that faded into eternity well before my time.

Wayne, everyone knows I love silents but without the dialogue didn't you have trouble following the narrative of this one? [Razz]

Gian another brilliant print of a really fun movie [Smile]

I thought after last weekends' movie fest I needed to come home and get back to reality so I played my recent over priced horrible condition ebay purchase, but I make huge sacrifices for Patsy Kelly films I do not have....This one a 16mm Danger! Women at Work(1943) is definitely what you would call a "programmer" but also starred a couple of silent gals , Betty Compson, Mary Brian, and was written by none other than Edgar G. Ulmer during his days at the Poverty Row...I also added a couple of shorties...One is a 16mm Dorthy Devore christie comedy - retitled as Phoebe's Fellows. I 'm not quite sure what the original title of this one is but it looks to mid 20's possibly Stay Single (1924). A notched 9.5mm 300ft Paul Parrot film called Harvest Hands (1922) with Paul alongside the lovely Jobyna Ralston who starred with Harold Lloyd in some of his big ones. Finally an even shorter (180ft) notched 9.5mm Leo Maloney western entitled Here's Your Man (1922) which Pathex retitled as Here's your Men, why? I have no idea....

Michael....The notched 9.5mm prints actually have small notches on the side, that triggers the projector to stop for a timed sequence to allow the title to remain stationary on the screen, and then the projector would start moving again.The projector stops 2 frames after the notch. The presence of 2 notches in the picture is to allow for 2 stopped sequences, which was often for longer titles. This conserved film since the original releases were on either 30ft or 60ft spools. They continued to use the notching system on the 300ft super reels....The obvious drawback of this is that the lamp cannot be very bright or else it will cook the film.

Dino,

Absolutely fantastic! When you referred to 300 foot super reels, was this at the time a great innovation in showmanship that's similar to 2300' 16mm reels? Were these films used for theatrical releases?

What is the fps on 9.5mm?

Michael let's see the super reels were a big step forward, especially if you think of the fact that some of the early releases were on multiple little reels (usually 2 or 3)such as the Life of Christ was on 32 x 30ft reels..Can you imagine watching a film and making 32 reel changes? UGH! ! ! ! The 9.5 was never designed beyond home use, but the Pathescope Monthly did have various articles about people putting on public screenings. As for fps it really varies since there are optical and magnetic sound prints that would obviously be at 24fps, but I would guess the majority of my silents would be around 16-18fps for a good smooth show, maybe a little faster on comedies, and slower on the classic early melodrama's from the teens...Since we are talking 9.5, tonight I had Linderfest 2010, OK maybe it wasn't a fest so much as 2 x 30ft reels first Max Linder Illusionist (1 x 30ft V46 1914), where max pulls a J Stuart Blackton and draws himself and then magically appears. The second one was called A Good Joke(2 x 30ft Duel De Max(Le) 1913) and is Max's famous mirror gag where another is mimicking max's every move in the mirror, until he realizes he is the butt of the joke....Then I took a turn and watched a Paul Parrot short called My. Dear Mr. Watson (3 x 30ft V10090 aka Finger prints 1923)all notched...

Dino,

A quick question unrelated to 9.5 ( which I find more interesting the more I learn about it). I asked you this elsewhere but I guess you never saw the question.

Have you ever come across a print of Harlow and Patsy in THE GIRL FROM MISSOURI in any format?

Dino, I found this for sale, and was thinking if this 35mm auction is the 9.5mm equivalent of The Life of Christ, as you mentioned?

Tinted 35mm auction sale - movie about Christ

17th October 2010, Sunday.

Super 8 show with LE AVVENTURE DI PINOCCHIO by Luigi Comencini starring Nino Manfredi, Andrea Balestri, Vittorio de Sica, Franco Franchi, Ciccio Ingrassia, Gina Lollobrigida (Italy, 1972).

The most popular Italian tv-series first aired in 1972 dedicated to the famous puppet (also issued for theatrical purpose).

Two editions available (an official and a bootleg one), but none of them was printed on low fade stock (all copies available in Italy - on 16mm too - were released on Kodak SP, unfortunately).
Pictures posted below refer to my copy (unofficial) marked 1976.

Not the best (about color), but in excellent condition (not so easy to find it this way).

Gian,

I was not familiar with this production. Quite an outstanding cast. Which character was: Vittorio de Sica? Interesting that he was in front, instead of behind the camera. I see that Nino Manfredi, was Geppetto? What part did Gina Lollobrigida become? Poor Nino Manfredi. He will be missed. [Frown]

Manfredi, brought delight to his performance in pane e cioccolato. "Bread & Chocolate." [Smile]

Gian,

I have "101 Dalmatians" from Derann, too. It must be the LPP stock. I got it on eBay for $200 US and it was a brand-new print!
