Columbia did release a digest of it, but to the best of my knowledge no official full-length versions were ever released. Columbia never released features. That's not to say that there aren't any underground prints out there and if there are the quality would probably be questionable.

I know this is off topic, but to Brad's point Columbia did release a number of features in Super 8. I have Dr. Strangelove and On the Waterfront, and I know Bye Bye Birdie is out there. There is the chance that these were rental prints however Dr. Strangelove came in a nice blue case embossed with the title and I'm not sure a rental would have had that.

Fabulous tid-bit, Doug. I didn't know Columbia ever released anything full length. I never saw anything advertised and, like many of us, I've seen tons of different catalogs over the past 40 years. I made an effort, back in the day, to get on every film company's mailing list possible.

They also did 'Emmanuelle' which was a Columbia in America. Cat Ballou was also released I think.
Also in the UK Columbia/Warner had super 8 rental catalogue with about 40 titles. The prints were the best I had ever seen at that time about 1977. I have the catalogue to put on my site soon.
