I've watched 3 reels of the Derann print of "Gone With the Wind" that I bought last December. Talk about beautiful colors and a crisp picture. It really looks as good as 16mm with my set-up! If "Oz" and "Robin Hood" look like this, I'm ready! Doesn't anyone have one to sell?

I had "Wizard of Oz" the Derann print and it was good but not as good as "Gone with the Wind". "Gone with the Wind" is one of the most beautiful prints that they ever made. Really stunning and the colors are so saturated. Stunning print. The "Wizard of Oz" is a really nice one but not quite as nice. [Smile]

I owned one Red Fox print, "Jack the Giant Killer". Terrible film but the quality of the print was amazing. Saturated colors and pin sharp. Really great quality.

I have got that said "terrible film" Rik! [Big Grin]

I would love to own a well looked after print of G.W.T.W. one day.

Well I have to admit.. I did like it when I was 12 or 13. I think I refer to it now as the "Poor mans 7th Voyage of Sinbad"!
I think the lead was the same actor even!

Quite right Rik, but it is cleverly done for the effects considering when it was made. [Smile]

Don't have 7th Voyage.. so I cannot comment, but I am sure you're correct.

I saw a portion of the Super 8 "Adventures of Robin Hood" while at Cinesea in October. It wasn't for sale- the owner brought it along to share it with me to see how a print looked. I was definitely impressed, and would love a copy. Anyone know of one for sale or interested in selling theirs?

I think a member by the name of Aksay Nanjagud has it and some other excellent color prints. He just gave up with hobby and was offering his prints and equipments. The good side he lives in the States.
