Last night I finally finished watching my acquisitions from the BFCC and I am glad. Mostly hits and only a very few misses (i.e. bad prints,and one short bought twice!!).Mostly standard 8 silent (there is where most of the treasures are!!) Let's see.. the features: Murnau's CITY GIRL, Vidor's LA BOHEME, Abram Romm's BED AND SOFA, Groucho and Carmen Miranda in COPACABANA (unfortunately a british 71 minute version but most enjoyable, nevertheless) and James Hayter in THE PICKWICK PAPERS. Among the shorts,a number of excellent prints (Blackhawk and Breakspear) of several Griffith Biographs and Edisons,two comedies with Mr and Mrs Sidney Drew (TOO CLEVER BY HALF and HIS FIRST LOVE STORY),and others with Cliff Bowes (WEAK KNEES), Johnny Arthur (JOHNNY'S WOOING),Max Davidson (FLAMING FATHERS),Ben Turpin in a rare Vogue (STUDIO STAMPEDE) and Snooky (SNOOKY'S FRESH HEIR).A "making of.." DIRECTOR OF 'THE DEVILS'with Ken Russell and a FooFoo cartoon. A nice crop I would say!

Panayotis,

I have been searching for the Max Davidson: Flaming Fathers.
Is yours on Standard 8mm? Do you believe that there may be many
prints circulating and who was the distributor?

Isn't it great that we can all communicate about this great
hobby that we love!

Hi,
This was also a surprise for me.It is a british print in std 8,with original titles intact,(from Vintage Films...I am not sure).In the beginning it is rather light but then it settles to o.k.The same distributor (presumably), also had DON'T TELL EVERYTHING, which I missed!

Last time I watched a great print of Romero's Night of the Living Dead that I recently purchased.

I hadn't watched that film for some years and I was amazed by how it looked on super8.
The print was great, with almost no scratches and great contrast.

A really really enjoyable film!

Hey Guys I saw the MAGIC SWORD Directed by Bert I. Gordon. Starring Basil Rathbone, Gary Lockwood, Estelle Winwood! It was 5X400 reel Super 8 color sound Red Fox release. A classic film that story went like this. The son of a sorceress, armed with weapons, armour and six magically summoned knights, goes on a quest to save a princess from a vengeful wizard. Wow! what a classic and in the end Patrick's faith in God save them not magic. It is the legend of Saint George and the Dragon.  -  -

Wayne...I don't think you are going to like this but, it looks like I have had the camera set on auto for sometime now...

I have been experiencing a number of computer problems lately, so I am waaaaaay behind on my pics, but here is the start of catching up, although I can't remember which days I watched which, but in the order I watched them are as follows....

First my new favorite movie that i saw by chance on the German ebay...YETI (aka Yeti - il gigante del 20. secolo, 1977) (2 x 400ft Super 8 --matted for widescreen) I don't know how I missed this film when I was growing up,
but W [Eek!] W ! ! ! Equal parts King Kong(Delaurentis), Towering Inferno, Attack of the 50ft Woman...I don't even care that it is an Italian film dubbed into German, and I don't know what they are saying...BRILLIANT! !

Next up an original 16mm print of a Hal Roach comedy entitled BROADWAY LIMITED (1941) featuring my favorite funny gal Patsy Kelly, and an added bonus of Zasu Pitts (both Thelma Todd's comedy short partners)...It is your usual runaway train, baby snatching, mistaken identity, star on the run, comedy romance, so I loved it....The print was a little mis-advertised, since it came stinking of vitafilm and had some serious warping at the tail end, but a patsy kelly film is always a good purchase...

Not sure how the pic will look since I am not using photoshop..

The Cruel Sea. 1953(Derann)
Another classic movie directed by Charles Frend and stars Jack Hawkins and Stanley Baker. Derann Films have certainly made available some great movies...

Next a rare one on 9.5mm. This one is the first episode in the Bray studios comedy series entitled FISTICAL CULTURE. The episode title is PAR UN DIRECT DU DROIT (aka FIGHTING FOOL (1926) with Lewis Sargent, Wanda Wiley, and Betty May as the love interest. The story is about a young farm hand who wants to be a boxer, and he tricks someone into giving him a chance. further episodes have him continuing to fight. The irony is the FIAF database does not list any archival holdings on this title, but I have this 2 x 300ft 9.5 pathe release, and I know that UCLA has a nitrate print without a main title of reel one in their unidentified pile, so anytime someone says a film is lost don't be too quick to accept defeat..

1953 newsreel Sup 8.

Followed by the blu-ray of Houdini 1953.
It’s a film that was so often on TV when I was a youngster I went mad and treated myself to the blu-ray which has just landed and a film which holds so many memories. It also comes with Those Daring Young Men In Their Jaunty Jalopies as a double bill. I suspect they have done the best they can with Houdini subject to the film materials they had available, colours are superb but the Technicolor registration is very poor in places and at times could be mistaken for watching anaglyph 3D but without the glasses particularly on a big screen! But it’s a treat to have it and of course watching it in HD its like viewing a whole new movie.

I ended the show with a very short 9.5 sound film THE QUEEN and always encourage a visiting audience to stand for this as they used to in the old days, especially as its on 9-5! [Smile]

Captain Blood(1923) was the theme of the week... I started by watching a 9.5mm French print of the vitagraph version. The film is a notched release and I'm not sure if the French version is slightly longer than the Pathescope or the same length, but either way,...........Here goes...I also went to the Million Dollar theatre in Los Angeles to see the Errol Flynn version. It is actually surprising how much of the battle footage was re-used from the Vitagraph version.

Had a very reminiscing evening and dug out my first super 8 sound projector which is my much loved Eumig pronounced Oimig by the way. Yup it’s still going strong after so may years and the sound head is still producing excellent sound.

So, last night we watched THE UNDEAD which I re-titled “So bad its more than good” although my old audio cassette with my childhood pals doing the sound track has long since been lost. Perhaps I should do a new one?

Boris Karloff in The Crimson Cult [Eek!]

Finally watched some home movies and it never ceases to amaze me how solid the colours are after all these years. The little Eumig has stood the test of time so well, steady picture and good sound and of course the shows given with it in the 70’s and beyond hold lots of memories.

Been neglecting the little guys lately so I broke out the "Oimig" and watched a standard 8 print of RED RAIDERS (Milestone 5 x 200, 1927).. A very non-pc, action packed Ken Maynard western. Truth is most of the real action is done by Maynards' horse Tarzan..
