Can someone please post a Mountain Films list or if they ever released a catalog, will buy of course, but particularly I want to see all the extant 200' RKO cut-down releases to see if I'm up-to-date - Cheers, Shorty

How was the quality on those Mountain releases?

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on December 02, 2017, 04:31 PM:

Actually, quite nice - These were taken from good 16mm prints or at least top-dupes - Thanks, Pan - I'm missing 2 from the group - Cheers, Shorty - Love to get one of those catalogs

Shorty,

What are the 2 or 3 best Leon Errols from this list? Also, 2 or 3 best Edgar Kennedys?

Thanks

It sounds like Leon Errol's "Who's a Dummy?" (1941) was a remake of Edgar Kennedy's "Dummy Ache" (1936). Is that right? How do they compare?

I have a super-8 print (Derann, I think) of "Dummy Ache" and it's my favorite Kennedy short.

Sounds like a funny short Rich.

Joe, that would be CUTIE ON DUTY and WEDDED BLITZ for Errol, and I'LL BUILD IT MYSELF and INFERIOR DECORATOR with Kennedy - This company didn't release many of them

Thanks Shorty.

I watched I'LL BUILD IT MYSELF on youtube. It reminded me of THE FINISHING TOUCH with Laurel and Hardy. Some of the gags were the same. It was only 14 minutes so the Mountain release apparently didn't have to cut out much.
