Hugh,
That would be the African Queen feature, I've never seen the cut-downs. I also had most of it on 16mm, some beautiful color on that print and sold it as well. I hope to find it again sometime. I sort of miss both prints but, they have made it into new homes now -- can't cry for all of those that I've watched then, let go...I'd still be crying.
I really liked 'The Rose' digest, the music in it is very good. Which reminds me, I wish there was a cut-down for 'Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park', I'd probably watch that every day if it were available. I also have The Rocky Horror Picture Show 400', which you'd think would get a lot of play at home but, I'm trying to preserve it for special occasions. SPOILER ALERT: I do run the 2 x 400' of 'Fame' from MGM often which, has a scenes with the kids at a RHPS screening, where they smoke a joint and loose their "inhibition".

That must be awesome having a 16MM print of "Warlords of Atlantis"! Is it the full feature?
The super 8 version is about 70 minutes long, and a decent cut down with all the monster action, (yay!).
I rate it up there as an equal with "The Land That Time Forgot". One of the big plus's of "Warlords" is that the monsters have a very unrelated to nature kind of look to them, which makes them appear less "Hokey". A great example is those two monsters that climb the wall of the castle. A very good design! Also, the water creature that lifts itself out some when they arrive, as well as taking a shot at our hero's on the way out.
... and the octopus is very well done. I understand that it was actually used for some other film, and they didn't have to build it. Some fake octopu's really have that fake look, and this one was pretty darned good.
By the way, I also have "People That Time Forgot" optical feature, beautiful print and letterboxed to boot! I know that "Land That Time Forgot" was supposed to exist as well as an optical super 8, but I have never ran into one as of yet, but I'd love to!
Now, the only one of those four features that I nearly detest is "At the Earth's Core", where the monsters are sadly in league with japanese Godzillas "men in rubber suits" monsters! Deplorable. The only saving grace for that film is Peter Cushing's line ...
"You can't hypnotize me ... I'm British!"
(and of course, he is immediately hypnotized!)
