How come Bob's film collection is being sold from the USA? I would have thought his film collection was in England, or did he move to the USA?

The 35mm print just states "A British film collector" not actually Bob. The first one is a puzzle (or a lie), it could have been a print he sold years ago if he had more than one, I suppose.

Paul, Bob lived and died in England and that is where his massive film collection was kept. So, unsure over that one..it is probaly a one off that ended up over there..possibly with a little bit of exaggeration. I would think that the BFI would be involved with Bob's stuff [Smile]

I watched the video, had no idea that Bob had such a huge collection of films and video's. Truly an amazing life story of a great comedian and courageous man:
