Is this released in full feature (I've seen 4x400', but unsure if that's the complete film)?

I have a friend who wants to see this on either 16mm or Super 8/Regular ... If anyone has any idea of what I should expect to pay or have a print they would offer me for a decent price (listening to all offers, not necessarily accepting)

Thank you

I think Mountain released Plan Nine on both standard & super 8 as the original was 79 minutes it was only cut by a few minutes if at all. I have seen worse films. The original price would be about £35 for the feature. Its worth what you want to pay. I did hire this along time ago, it memory serves it was only an average print.

I followed a 35mm trailer for 'Day Of The Triffids' best looking colour I've seen for this film it went for £125. I bid £25

I love the smell of film in the morning.

You're right David it was a 4x400' and for some reason is much
sought after.I had a print about eight years ago,but used it in a
trade in, the print and sound were okay, it is a strangely entertaining film but if one pops up on ebay, be prepared for
high prices.

I had a 1x400' version on Plan 9 and put it on ebay a year or so ago and got 75.00 for it. So you never know.

Warning: I don't recommend getting the mountain 4 X 400' feature release... in one of the worst crimes committed in the history of super 8 - the original footage of Bela Lugosi outside his Hollywood home, which inspired Ed Wood to make the film after Bela died, was left out! I had this feature and sold it as soon as I found the Red Fox 5 X 400' version. That is the print you need to find. Just get the Mountain/Heritage 200' sound digest in the meantime to hold you over.
