Laces up a Super 8 Sankyo, then turns on a 16mm Elf. How clever.

A great watch with a real Aladdins cave of a shop! Umit is quite a character. [Smile]

Beautiful, loved it and I saw a quick cameo of an excellent ninefiver Graham Murray...If only there were little shops like this in Hollywood....Movie capital of the world? Ha!!!!.... My vote is France and the UK!!!!

I believe a lot of the films are not actually for sale, they are the owner's own prized collection.

Just watched this for the first time (slow internet connection before). Very nice film but its a shame that I too noticed (like Maurice) that he laces up a Sankyo stereo but switches on an Elf 16mm. If the maker knew he didnt have any good shots of the correct 'switch on' might have been better leaving that shot out and use a different cutaway. Apart from that bad edit its a lovely film.
