I have two films up for sale folks ... here we go!

Charly : (Montgomery Clift, 1968). This is a rare combination of sci-fi and romance. Charly is a mentally challenged person who gets the opportunity to have an operation that will reverse his mental condition. The operation is successful, but He also finds out the sad truth about his new condition. Excellent film. 5X400ft. This print has VERY good color, which was surprising, considering it is an ABC films print. Hadn't ever seen this good, except for twenty years ago, (when I used to collect), and a hard title to find now.

Is the second one Charly II or Son Of Charly? Revenge Of Charly?

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on March 31, 2009, 05:45 PM:

No no Dan, not Chuckie ... Charly. Very serious movie. The twist in the last fifteen minutes really caught me off guard.

Also the great color on this. Usually, ABC films have light fade to heavy fade. This one is pristine. I wonder if this was printed on a decent non fade color stock? I'll have to have a look see.

The second one is an optical sound feature entitled "Lucky Pierre", which is an action comedy from France, (gee, no kidding, Pierre ... France).

But I can't list this yet. The person who I', selling these for failed to send reel one. The other four reels are here and it has slight fade but not bad at all, for the age of the film. (Like how that nice print of "Internicine Project" was from you Dan). I'm hoping that he hadn't lost that first reel. Lets face it, in that case, I really can't sell it.

Osi, sorry to be pedantic, but do you mean "Charly" starring Cliff Robertson and Claire Bloom?

If it does star Montgomery Clift, it will be a neat film, as Monty died in 1966.

Sorry to "pick you up" on film facts bro. [Wink]

PS Is the second film "I Was Monty's Double"? [Smile]

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on March 31, 2009, 07:37 PM:

Osi, if they did the twist for the last fifteen minutes it couldn't be that serious. [Big Grin]

Lets give him a big hand folks! (slap!)

He'll be playing the Palladium all week!

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on March 31, 2009, 08:43 PM:

Osi, all serious aside, what is the second film?

I have seen Charly and it is a very touching film.

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on March 31, 2009, 11:04 PM:

Dan, my happy little camper,

the second film was "Little Pierre", a French Comedy from the early 1970's. It's an optical sound print, but since the guy I'm selling them for failed to send reel one, I can't offer it.

Camper Dan, that has a ring to it.

By the way, Dan, "The Fog" went out today! Dis morning.

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on April 01, 2009, 01:09 AM:

Little Pierre, a French comedy? This sounds like something I would be interested in.

Camper Dan is appropriate since I am a camper, but Dan is a name that many adjectives seem to like. Old Dan, Dirty Dan, Dapper Dan, etc. [Big Grin]

Hoover Dan? I'll be Dan?

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on April 01, 2009, 10:53 AM:

Nono! That's "Lucky Pierre". Its immaterial until I get that first reel from the fella, and that's if I do.

Diaper Dan, (many sooner than you think, eh?)

Where do you dump your un-usable film equipment?

In a "Dan-fill"!

(hah!)

Osi you have email at:

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on April 01, 2009, 12:26 PM:

Osi, Lucky Pierre sounds even better!

Jean-Marc, Hoover Dan and Diaper Dan are synonymous. [Big Grin]

I was born as Dana(Dana Andrews), then became Danny and now am Dan among other names. How about Dan the lion or row Dan. [Roll Eyes]

Osi, do you mean Pierre is insignificant and will suffer a social complex until the other reel arrives. Wow! This is getting my Dan-der up(Are we allowed to say that?).

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on April 01, 2009, 04:46 PM:

Oof this humnor is getting really rough ...

(get ready folks ...)

"Dan-rough!"

Charly is sold!

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on April 01, 2009, 06:34 PM:

Dan-rough? I guess I have been a little flaky at times. Poor Charly, sold from home to home. Maybe Pierre will be luckier.

Posted by Mark Todd (Member # 96) on April 01, 2009, 07:02 PM:

Now you have sold it, I can say it, " Charly " Sci Fi !!!!! ????.

Good film for the price mind. Did I hear a twang.?

Best Mark.

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on April 01, 2009, 07:46 PM:

Mark ...

It is classified as a sci-fi film. To this day, this kind of operation is not possible. A man, once retarded, now made into
a genius? Definite sci-fi, (you COULD call it fantasy), and definitely a romance as well.

... and a great film!

DAN THE TORPEDOS!

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on April 02, 2009, 12:01 AM:

Full speed ahead!

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on April 02, 2009, 12:29 AM:

I thought it was raining before but we seem to be caught in a Danpour!

Now I think were all struck with Dan Syndrome!

(disclaimor: no disrespect to those with that syndrome)
