OSI, Good Luck! On this title. I had it three times and all were red! And I talked to some collectors who still have it and there print is red! Again Good Luck! Leon.

Well, the funny is that the print I currently have is about a 9 out of 10 on color, which is really good for this title, but sadly, it has a green scratch off the right hand side, not a deep and wide one, but an annoying scratch that runs the whole print. [Frown]

If not for that, I'd be happy with my print.

My print is faded as well.

Your one of the lucky ones with a nice color print! Osi most prints on this are now red!

You might well be right Leon ...

The optical print I have seems a little more complete than the U.S. versions. I could be wrong, but I think that the UK version had a "sex scene" (pretty tame, actually), between Micheal York and the beautiful "Leopard chick!" (yes, I have forgotten her name at this present time).

Update ... Wasn't it Barbera Carrera?

I think they released a three parter? Is this true! I wonder how it looks? Leon.

There was a three parter released by UFA super 8 films in Germany, but I can't vouch for the color.

Thanks OSI, I will check in to it! Leon.

My feature is red, too - I assumed they all were...I bet the three parter looks great... but then there is the issue of dubbing which is a real hassle with the digests.

I found out the three parter. Is in German sound! But its a nice print and well edited! I found someone who would record it in English! And also the three Parter. Has nice color!

It can be a hard search, Brian, but there are good color copies out there. Perseverence!

My dream search is to find some lucky fella that has a bunch of cored features that were in they're grandpas basement, haven't seen the light of day, and they're just selling them as a package deal! They don't come around except in the blue moon, but even with quick fade eastman, those cored features tend to still look pretty good, as I have found from personal experience.

OSI, If I come across a nice print of the feature I'll let you know! You just never know!

Osi - I've been having that same dream for about 40 years... FYI it never happens!

Brian, The three parter is the one to get nice print well edited! And good color also! Nice boxes!
