John,

I believe Blackhawk released Sally of the Sawdust. There was also supposed to be a rare printing of Million Dollar Baby. Aside from those, only the Castle/Universal 8 cutdowns and a few full length shorts (The Dentist, Fatal Glass of Beer, The Pharmacist, etc.) are available on Super 8.

Here's a link to a previous topic about Mr. Fields and his films.

The feature is MILLION DOLLAR LEGS (1932),a copy of which is in my posession,as is SALLY OF THE SAWDUST.In addition,full length copies are available of all his shorts.(Incidentally,the LEGS belong not to some beauty,but to Andy Clyde !!)

Thanks for the correction Panayotis! I'm not sure how I confused Hilary Swank with W. C. Fields!
