Fletcher Films were a very funny outfit, some of there later releases like "The Shape of Things to Come" were crap films, but decent 8mm prints (for once), again as was usual for them, there 400's ran for about 13 minutes, but they ended abruptly, this was because about 3 months later they announced a part 2 was coming out, and guess what, it took up the story from where part 1 finished. They did this with the Mary Millington sex comedies "Come Play With Me" & "The Playbirds". They did quite a few Railway films, and some of those are quite good, especially the B/W ones. They also did some edited features from films that were in the public domain, notably the Sabu film "The Jungle Book" which was released under another title, but strangely has a better print than the F/L imported feature, as Fletcher's came from a decent non-faded print, and has quite good colour. Another film like this was the Fleischer animated "Gulliver's Travels" again there print was the match (or slightly better than Derann's print) for any print around. It's worth looking out for these 2 titles, as the colour has held up quite well on them.
