Tom, great story and even greater film... Hold on to that one tight, I have always been on the hunt for that full feature and they NEVER seem to come available... Well done, but your poor old mum!

I had lunch with Bill Brandenstein today and of course we spent a good amount of time swapping film stories, so tonight I had to get a film fix and thought the cure would be some standard 8 toy films. You know the kind that most film collectors would snub their noses at. The quality on these things can range from kodascope clarity to completely unwatchable. The 3 tonight ranged from great to so-so with some of the weirdest printed in problems (see the title from Careless Hubby) I have ever seen.
First up was Fast Black (1924, 100ft Pathegrams) starring Earl Mohan and Billy Engle. Next was Careless Hubby (1927, 100ft Star Films)from a series of Cameo Comedies starring the pair Phil Dunham and Estelle Bradley in a sort of Newlyweds knock off. The final one was a reel i have missing its title but it is Mickey's Battle (1927, 100ft Star Films) which is one of the Mickey MacGuire comedies starring the very young Mickey Rooney. All good because the best thing about the toy films are that they are often quite rare titles...

Tom- I too bought that 4x400 featurette from Iver when I was about 17, and have many fun stories about that one too!

I could NEVER get my mom to watch it though. She's gone now, but up to a few years ago, whenever I mentioned to her- "Mom, remember when I used to show Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"- She'd look at me with a sort of mean look, pause, and say- "oh, you mean...AAAAAAAAA...AAAAAAA..... AAAAAAA! Of couse I remember". (She's refering to the constant screams in the last half of the movie, as I'd often run the movie into the wee hours of the morning [Cool] .

James.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable time with Dino, who is a remarkable guy with a remarkable job. Somebody needs to do a writeup about him and all he does that helps keep film collecting alive both professionally and for hobbyists. And given his encyclopedic knowledge, his film stories are WAY more interesting than mine. Thanks for putting up with me, Dino!

Bill I had a blast...

Last night I had some friends over from out of town who brought some 9.5mm films to check out. We watched small 30ft spools until almost midnight and had a blast. Tonight had some friends (including my godson) over to watch an absolute classic. A gorgeous IB Tech print of the Hammer films' The Revenge of Frankenstein starring Peter Cushing as the famous doctor. (1958, 16mm, 3 x 1600ft)

Thaks Dino, [Wink] James, thank you to, my dear Mum still goes on now about "that film" hehe, [Big Grin] Happy days,
Dino those are great screenshots from Revenge of Frankenstein, apart from the 200ft of Twins of Evil we still to this day dont own a feature Hammar Horror in our collection,unreal, the one i always tried to grab (but cud never afford it when a copy did appear) is the curse of Frankenstein, i'm still looking for that bargain but with those films holding there value and rapidly rising im sure we'l ever get there.

Lovely screenshots Dino! I so envy your job. If I'm ever down Claifornia-way, could I stop in for a screening or two? [Smile]

Osi sure anytime, what Bill said, we could have a whole forum screening party... that would be great....and Laksmi another classic horror film - Kevin McCarthy actually lived down the street from me when I first moved here to California...

Tonight I continued my new love/hate relationship with the GS and watched MARCH OF TIME:vol.V, no.12:March of the Movies from July of 1939 (Super 8, 1 x 600ft) which starts out with some great footage of Iris Barry from the early days of MOMA, and even some footage of Lee Deforest who invented the vacuum tubes that made radio and sound movies possible.

Dino-Can I come too? Laksmi-Just watched the remake from 1978 on Encore. It was a decent remake and even had a cameo of Kevin McCarthy. I always seem to miss out on a print of that.

Watched my excellent print of King Kong.

The character actor you're referring to Laksmi. is Whit Bissell of "Time Tunnel" fame.If you have the "Teenage Frankenstein" clip, he also starred in that.An interesting item in that film, were the crates in the lab that had printed on them the the address of Hammer Films in Wardour St., in London, a bit of an "in joke" by
the makers.

Ehhh, give me "Mothra" anyday, especially those two hot princesses, or whatever they were, (with those rediculously high screechy voices!), but nice seeing your screenshots, just the same!

"Maaa SU Raaaaa"

I finally had a chance to break the Bolex DA back out and watched some notched 9.5mm..The title tonight was a lost William Fairbanks film FLYING HIGH (1926, Pathescope title Air Pirates 1 x 300ft S645) This is considered a lost film because all that exists is the 9.5 cut version. This film is an action thriller with some great "the other" Fairbanks' stunts. The film also stars the lovely Alice Calhoun who happens to be in a number of 9.5 films.

One of my latest additions to my 16MM collection:
The Notorious Landlady
Starring Jack Lemmon, Kim Novak, Fred Astaire & Lionel Jeffries.
A "romcom"/mystery/murder story from 1962 scripted by Larry Gelbart & Blake Edwards.
To my surprise I found that the copy, Fuji, had a datecode of 1967! Yes 46 years old. And with that in mind I must say it's in excelent condition. There is the occasional stripes and some splices, I think it's a ex TV print, but in view of the age I would have thought it should have been in a much worse state.
Anyway, a truly entertaining story including a (almost) nude scene with Kim Novak, who incidentally designed all her own clothes in this movie.
If you haven't seen it I can recomend it.

Lars, that is a fun movie indeed. I actually have Kim Novaks' film collection at work that includes an unfinished documentary called "This is Kim." and some home movies.

Tonight I had time for a quick 16mm 2-reeler. A french kodascope print of a rare Edmund Cobb western short originally titled Pep of the Lazy J (1926) that happens to feature an uncredited role from a very young Janet Gaynor. Supposedly the only other print of this is at the Eastman house archive.
