Luis, it is incredible to see that big street, and other sets, which were built here in Spain, close to Madrid. Unfortunately, nothing from Samuel Bronston films survive the past of time. I saw in a documentary, that some trees from a big set, are growing in one lonely location, next to the clothes store ruins. Even some russian landscapes were locations near Madrid.

Hello. I don´t have any print of these films shot in Spain. I have been interested in them during the last years, and I have seen the movies and some TV documentaries about that adventure. It is sad to see that there were big cinema studios here.

Would love to see Dr Zhivago through a Projector, I have the condensed version (17mins) and I love it. It has pinked through the years so the actors look more healthy than they should [Smile]

Will be hunting a fuller version, maybe I will be lucky.........

I remember reading many yeasr ago, (back in the late 1980's when I first collected Super 8) that there was a full length version of this in super8 optical sound. However, the print was flat and not scope.

Since the airline flights only allowed for 110 minutes for a feature running time. This was either split into two cartridges for long flights, (overseas?), or, it was one of those smaller technicolor cartridge films, which means it would run as many cartridges as necessary.

For Instance, "Pocket Full O Miracles' (a super 8 optical feature I have from the early 1960's) ran for 6 cartridges, as each cartridge was approximately 20 to 25 minutes in length.

The Kempski prints was originally supplied on 12x400.
At least my copy was, bought in 1987, and still the most expensive copy in my collection.
