Michael, can you please tell me why this print is "rare"? I honestly don't know.

Pan, no fair you are going for the lost ones......In that case I'd want WINE. The Clara Bow film was released on 8mm kodascope in the UK in the 1930's.

Akshay,

I have no idea. I know little about Super 8.

I just copied directly from Foster's website.

Dino,when I first saw the title listed in Gerald McKee's book "A Half Century of Film Collecting",as having been released for the home market, I thought it was a mistake.But when a few years later I found it listed in the 1938 8mm Kodascope catalogue (the same as yours,scanned for the Prelinger Archives),well...perhaps there is hope! And since the part-talkie version has been found and restored....and since film archives search for all gauges,except 8 mm,....and since in recent years I have found several 8mm titles that were listed only in those '30es catalogues (again, thanks to the Prelinger Archives)... who knows?
Anything is lost, until it is found !!!!!! You may someday find WINE and I find MODERN LOVE!

Way to much for that "It's A Wonderful Life", personal opinion however.

I notice that most of the "most desried" films are in the classics, silents on up to about the 60's or so. Interesting.

Richard, you are not going to like this, but i just threw away about 20 Roy Rogers features on 16mm because of severe vinegar syndrome (including I think some of the titles you list)

I believe many of the Roy Rogers titles were shortened before being printed for television. If so, then its not so tragic. Can someone confirm whether or not the titles were slightly edited? I seem to remember hearing years ago that they were. If true, then at least Republic didn't edit their other features to shorten their running times for television...

Keeps your fingers crossed. There were very few prints made, but "Duck Soup", as a super 8 feature, does exist!

I don't remember who released, but it has been mentioned before, and I think on this forum. If Doug or someone else can look back in the "days gone by" on this forum, I'm sure that they can find the reference.

I havent a clue,I only ever bought one film from him,back in the
early eighties and that was the optical sound version of the
feature "FLASH GORDON",unfortunately the first third of the
film was missing,but no mention of that at the time, just a piece
of advice when I questioned it,"I could always splice on the
trailer on the front of what I had",which I understand was usuall for him.A conman.

The Albert Finney version of "Scrooge" on Super 8. A 16mm print always goes for such a big amount whenever I see it. I always wished a digest on either 1X400' or 3X400' was printed. I know "Portrait Of Jennie" is out there (always wondered if it included the final green-tinted footage and the final color shot of the portrait in the final reel) "The Ghost And Mrs. Muir" with Rex Harrison on Super 8 (also wished a digest was made). Digests of "Son Of Dracula", "A&C Meet The Killer, Boris Karloff", "The Canterville Ghost" (the Laughton version), "Luck Of The Irish" (Tyrone Power classic), "Miracle On 34th Street", "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave", "Evil Of Frankenstein" and finally "Excalibur". All, of course, on Super 8 with collectible boxes.

Cecil B. De Mille's 'Ten Commandments' on 16mm, 2nd choice would have to be 'Ben Hur' (on 16mm) My question is were these
prints ever released on 16mm?

Desmond,
I remember seeing "The Ten Commandments" available for hire in the Rank Film Library 16mm catalogue back in the late '70s. And someone on ebay was selling an odd reel of the film a few years ago in the US. It was an IB Tech print and the screen shots looked stunning.
