I know the L&H titles released by Americom were excerpted from the features they made at 20th Century Fox, but does anyone know how many were actually released and what features the "bogus titles" were adapted from?

Big Noise was released full feature on Super 8 by Roger Lilley Movieland International. Great print pretty poor Laurel and Hardy film.

Joseph

I would guess late 1980s. Roger brought out a few feature titles Riddle in the Sands being the other one I remember plus a heap of Betty Boop titles. I can't be certain but I have feeling Dave West DCR films used to have Big Noise as one of his feature releases and there was a connection between those two dealers.

Thanks Mike.

I actually enjoy THE BIG NOISE since it is one of the best non-Roach features the boys made. Not sure I would buy it full-length in Super 8, though.
