Hey everybody!

I have a short subjct British film, runs 200ft standard 8mm sound, and being that I no longer have a standard 8mm shound projector, I've never been able to watch it ...

... but I have not been able to even find any info on this short subject film. Was this made for TV or theatrical. It appears to be complete from beginning to end.

Osi, I have a 1974 Blackhawk print of this. It's a Fox Movietone newsreel subject. (For everyone else, to clarify: it's actually a documentary compiled from newsreel footage.) The only reason I found the original title was due to a talkback sound cue on the leader, and its original title is "The Impact of Tragedy." Like most newsreels and documentary shorts of that era, it's not on IMDB.

Quite curious is why Blackhawk felt it necessary to change the title, or even if it was necessary under contractual agreement.
