Hi there,
I am looking for a Super 8 sound copy of Play Safe with Monty Banks.
I believe this is an extract from Days of Thrills and Laughter
Thanks

This was a GOLDEN FILMS release in Std 8 called 'Chasing Choo-Choos', might have been a Super 8 version made also. I should have bought a print I happened upon at CINEFEST, so like yourself the chase continues - Shorty

In the UK there was a Super 8 silent version of this called (rather clumsily) MONTY'S HAIR-RAISING TRAIN RESCUE which I used to own - I can't recall the distrubutor.

It was also issued here in Super 8 sound as a one-reel extract from DAYS OF THRILLS & LAUGHTER. Powell Films released the complete feature and various extracts, of which this was one.

On the Slapstick Encyclopedia DVD set, it's called CHASING CHOO-CHOOS as Joe mentions.
