I HAVE thought about that, and I would have a nice outdoor film show, (well it IS an outdoors film ... hyuk yuk!), complete with very large screen, (super 8 optical prints look good as a general rule projected large), as well as popcorn, rare short subjects and rare cartoons.
Unless it is in the middle of winter, and it's 10 below zero (don't want bad things to happen to the projector, after all, let along my audience!)
Steve, I don't know if the fellow still has it, (he has frequented this website in the past), but a fellow was attempting to sell an Agfa low fade print of "When the North Wind Blows" on ebay. it still comes up occasionally, so watch for it. Heck, you've probably seen it. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I think there was a "North Wind Blows" in Europe that was actually slightly cut down. I let that one pass.
Mine is full feature length, and the sound is good, it just looks a lot better with those filters in the beam.
It's basically the same story: the hero accidentally kills someone and fears being punished for murder, so he escapes to the wilderness, befriends an immense predatory mammal and finds himself at home there.
Dan Haggerty is in both, it's just in "Grizzly" he takes the part played by Henry Brandon in "North Wind". The American West also takes over the part played by Czarist Siberia (actually, Alberta was originally cast as Siberia),
I have the week between Christmas and New Years off and my tradition is North Wind a reel (or maybe two) per night. A couple of years ago my job literally sent me to Siberia (when I say this, a lot of people think I'm making some kind of metaphor: "What did you DO?!!") and I watched "North Wind" the week before to psyche myself for my glorious ten days in Novosibirsk!
-Nothing like spending the 4th of July in a city named by Stalin!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

I saw that just now (with just two hours left to go, as, it was a holiday yesterday and no internet available), but I really can't tell by his screenshots. it looks like it might be a print that was owned by Keith Ashfield awhile back.
The problem with screenshots, is that quite often they will make a film with any fade or no fade at all) look worse than they actually are. I took screenshots of my low fade CE3K 1977 version scope, and the screenshots made it look all redded out, so i really can't tell by shots "grizzly" shots.
Bear in mind, i don't think that I'll ever find a pristien color print, as i get the feeling that this film never actually had perfect pristine color. I've noticed on my own print of "Grizzly", that the color actually gets a tad bit better by the second half of the print, and that some portions of the film have noticeably better color than others. The leader and beginning titles at the beginning of every print I have seen are more red, than the leder at the end of the print with the end credits ...
So, I do hope to find an, at least better print than what i have, and I'm sure that i will ... someday.
