Looking for a mint or near mint print of "The General", starring, of course, Buster Keaton.

I already have the 8mm silent version, but I really want the 16mm optical sound version. B&W, naturally. Paul Foster had one recently, but I just missed it! [Mad]

In hopeful anticipation,

Hi David,

I'm not selling mine, but since you're just around the corner, you're welcome to borrow it any time you want. It's a nice print and has an organ score (the score is a bit on the heavy side for my liking). It gets an airing about once a year. It's one of my treasured prints.
Keep an eye on the US Ebay. Prints seem to pop up every now and then.

Thank you very much for the offer, Rob. If I have occasion to do a screening before I find one, I may take you up on your kind offer.

Meanwhile, I'll keep my eyes peeled! [Eek!]

Cheers,
