A friend of mine is desperately looking for the sound 400ft version of the above title. Please let me know should you be interested in selling it.

I have a copy of this, but it IS the silent edition. Beautiful print by Blackhawk. Let me know if you are interested in it.

Tassos,

I have on my lists a sound Blackhawk print in really nice condition, it's £30 plus post, if you're interested.

All the best,

Barry.

That's okay. Dirty Work in the silent edition is interesting enough to keep for myself. When Blackhawk made these silent editions they made thier own "silent era" title cards. With these laurel and hardy titles, except for an occasional gag that needs dialogue, they are quite enjoyable. In fact, I watched it last night. It's interesting in that the source print was different than the sound edition.

Tassos,

I would think £4 Airmail would cover postage costs to Greece. I don't think it would be much more, if it is I'll cover it myself, so let me know.

Barry i'd like to thank you and apologise for taking up your time, i've just been given an attractive offer which suits my friend better. I'll have a look at your list though just in case i am personally interested in some films of yours.
Osi i too find these blackhawk editions superb. By the way i recently bought a Laurel & Hardy film in which they are supposed to be students in Oxford. As the beginning titles are missing i am wondering which the main title is...Is this a rare film to find?

Tasso,
it's 'A chump at Oxford'you're talking about:

not easy to find in Blackhawk but I got the Walton edition which is equally good-it's a must have!
