I have a ABC films edited feature version of :

The Last Valley ...

Starring Micheal Caine and Omar Shariff. It takes place in the middle ages. A refugee from the wars accidentilly stumbles into a valley untouched by war for generations, but the armies follow him there as well, and decide to weather out the winter there.

Naturally the residents don't like them being there and soon even the army is fighting amongst itself. The captian takes a wife while they're, and in the spring, goes back to war out of the valley, (while he's gone, the townspeople burn his wife as a witch). He returns barely alive, realizing that he never should have left the valley.

This is a case where an edit of the feature works much better than the original feature. This was originally on 5X400ft but has been placed on 4 very full 400ft reels. ABC films was always odd about that, releasing 5X400ft when they could have saved money with 4X400ft.

Anyhow, the color is only slightly off, (in some cases, you don't even see any color loss), and the scenery is beautiful.
The sharpness is above average for an ABC digest and it has NO scratches. The sound is your average sharp bomming mono.

45.00 american postage extra.

If youre interested, please e-mail me.

I thank you for your time.

Osi, i have this feature, (cut down by a good 20-30 minuites) but it really is a great film set during the 30 years war.
I particularly think the soundtrack by John Barry is superb and sets the film perfectly, i can recommend this rare feature to any one. [Wink]

Congrats Chip, the film is yours, sent an e-mail! (you got it with five minutes to spare, right before someone else wrote, how's that for timing!?

By the way, the titles (including the ABC logo) are in scope, so the titles in scope are of interest!

I forgot to mention that you'll also get the original "cover" that was on the boxes when first released!

Chip, I sent and e-mail at the requested address you gave above. If you donb't see it in there, I suggest checking your junk folder or something like that. I think I wrote the same address as the one you listed above.

All the best
