Was this film ever put out as a digest on Super 8? If so, (for anybody who would own it), does it have Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River", and that full (but short) version of the song?

I'm not the kind of guy who weeps in films, but every single time I hear that Audrey Hepburn rendition of "Moon River", I truly get all teared up. There's something VERY moving about that lovely melodious song!

OK, I'm an Audrey hepburn fan! Every other actress I have seen I admire cuz, lets face it, I'd love to have whoever she is for night! (hey, that's the whole male mystique for an actress, or am I wrong?) ...

But Audrey, dear Audrey. Everytime I look at her I feel like I'd love to be Sean Connery in "Robin and Miriam", and I would admire that lovely lass from a distance, but i would never desire to touch her or dishonor her.

I love Audrey!

I know the Trailer is released on Super 8, but I newer watched it.
I own a first release 35mm IB Tech print. In later prints is a short scene (the legs of a dancing lady in a bar)censored. I´m happy to own this. But my favorite Audry movie is Funny Face, I wish I find one day a 35mm print.

I watched the movie yesterday night, after writing the post I'm after the trailer as Daniel is.
She's simply perfect, as Holly Golightly. I am the kind of guys who weeps in film [Big Grin]

!
Incredibly beautiful. So refined and delicate.
Oemer, are you sure about the trailer?

BTW, I'm quite sure a digest was never released. Quite...

In 1980 there was a company here in the islands that sell and loan prints its name was "claret films" and was a fantastic film club too with about 2000 super 8 titles and more than 3000 on 16mm,the compañy was owned by the priests of the claretianos order and the building were they was have 4 floor the first floor was only super 8 the second only 16mm and the last two ones was the cinema club and the film lab were they offer a service of developing super 8 and 16,magnetic striping etc...well for my surprise i see there a 200 foot reel of breakfast at tiffanys that only contain the song and the final scene where they are looking for the cat but i never see it again,sometime i think the priest make taht special reel on his own lab from a 35mm print that they use to show sometimes,for nostalgia here is the front page of their catalogue showing the posibility to loan or buy the oscarized spanish film beguin the beguin:

My wife's favorite film and starring one of the most beautiful women to appear on the "silver screen" (apart from my beloved, of course!).

The last scene, in the rain, with the "Cat" ....... Well, what can you say??????

Over 2000 titles in Super 8? What could they all be? RKO Edgar Kennedy? Chaplin, L&H - Please let me see the pages of that catalog, or a history of this company. Anything still left there? Of course, Claret must have closed by now, yes? Very curious - Shorty
