Another of the later additions to my 16MM collection: Arrivederci, Baby! aka Drop Dead Darling.
This is a scope copy in glorious Technicolor. Tony Curtis is a man that marries wealthy women and then disposes of them to get their money.
A really funny movie, where the scope format is really used to good effect, as you can se in some of the pictures.
It also has one of the funniest end twists that I have seen (always makes me laugh).

Lars, with a print like that, with colors that saturated, I'd happily watch the worst color movie ever made.

********

Two genres seem hot among film collectors: Horror and Sci-Fi. No horror collection is ever complete without The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Finally, after almost two years, I have a Super 8 sound print of this title mounted on one 1200' reel.

My wife and I watched Dr. Caligari for the first time on DVD, four years ago. Back then the feature floored us. Even today it sucked me right in. My wife however felt that the sense of mystery was lost second time around. All the buzz around Dr. Caligari drew my brother to this screening, he didn't like it all that much. [Eek!]

Vidar, it may not be the best, by far, but it's not that bad either. I have noticed that it's a film that grows on you and gets better with every viewing. And there are some scenes that are truly hilarious, and others that are so incredibly ludicrous that you are amazed. I think this is a film you either like or hate and there is no inbetween. But all in all it's a film I truly can recommend as a amusing viewing.

Akshay, yes the colors are truly stunning, but what would you expect from a true Technicolor print. Makes me eager to get my hands on more of these. I already have one other, The Greatest Show On Earth with Norwegian subtitles, in Technicolor and the colors are just as great on that one.

I just wish that mad guy with the insane prices on all those Thechnicolor features, that's on ebay, could get a grip, and put some sensible prices on them. I would be first in line to bid!

I don't understand Lars ... I didn't say anything but it's a beautiful print? The a bit red comment was for Laksmi's The Birds, which is a little better than mine, which is awful :-)

Your Tony Curtis looks really good ... I never seen the movie, I wondered if that was any good :-)

Vidar, my answer to you was on how the movie is, nothing else.
I perhaps should have made it clearer in some way, re-reading what I wrote I see it can be misunderstood.

LOL, I can see what you mean too now, re-reading it :-)

Okay, not a top film, but decent enough ... I thought you might have seen the reply to The Birds pictures from Laksmi :-)

The Birds is just as popular as Star Wars. And Vidar all the copies I have seen of 400 digest are worse then mine. To tell you the true most copies have gone red. At least ones I have seen. You want good color on a top title you got to pay for it on eBay. I was watching tonight STAR WARS digest -

Tonight we have put through our 4 x 400ft feature of Dark Star, now mounted onto 2 x 800ft spools..
What a great little film this is and with quite a cult following. We originally purchased the double album version from Iver but with 90% of the comical parts removed this, for us, was a little unsatisfactory. This feature copy came up from our local dealer here in Plymouth and its an excellent print throughout with no colour fade at all. Now rather than ramble on about the story etc this one is worth checking out on-line by simply typing in Dark Star Movie on google and check the wickidpedia site. I know its not always acurate but this one is quite good and may make a more interesting read on this unique film which as many will know was made by Dan o Bannon and John Carpenter as a student film in 1973 and shot on 16mm, the rest, as they say, is history. Its one item i'm surprised has never been re-made but having said that, no matter how superb any modern day special effects would be i dont think it would ever top this cheap budget version made for just $60,000.

I haven't watched Dark Star but one paragraph in Roger Ebert's review is interesting. He reviewed the feature in 1980, six years after it was made. Ebert says:

"It was finished some four years ago, before "Star Wars," and might have had a big success as a cult film if its original distributor hadn't been so chicken-hearted that he dumped it in a string of Southern California drive-ins and then pulled it out of commercial release. As it is, "Dark Star" has found audiences on the campus and revival circuits, has been a hit here at Facets Multimedia, and, at last, is having its first commercial run at the Three Penny Cinema."

Ebert gave Dark Star three stars and his review is very positive.

Great screenshots, one and all. I agree about films growing on you. I likeed "The Earthling" (William Holden/Ricky Shroeder, 1980), when I was younger, but I truly love the film today and it is one of the few films that can really get me teary eyed, as I see my own relationship with my dad in that film.

I have just watched (it is 11:20 pm, here) Lighthouse By The Sea in super 8. It's a silent movie from 1924 with Rintintin.

Jonathon, thar Eagles nest is a great little short, as it happens that was one of the very first films my Brother bought on standard 8 b/w silent back in 1975, we managed to get the Derann 200ft colour sound version just a few years ago,
Laksmi, Empire 2 400ft is looking good, our part one appears to have some fade but its never really got any worse over the years so im not sure how good this one really was, its a great cut down and well put together, if only they showed the Darth Vader "i am your Father" bit, just a few seconds worth of extra would have all the difference, [Mad]

Hi Tom, it's a very entertaining short. Although I was aware of the place, I didn't know it was a tourist attraction.

With regard to 'The Eagle's Nest' I screened this as part of a one hour show to my local Over 50's Club in January. It provoked quite a few comments with one person telling me they had visited the place a few years ago.
