Ghost of St. Michaels 1941

Released on super 8 sound by Derann Films in 1977 4X400 sound.
This hilarious Michael Balcon gem was directed by Marcel Varnel which stars Will Hay and Claude Hulbert as they try to find the criminals of two murders. It’s set during wartime at a spooky castle which is said to be haunted as well. In 1977 it would have cost you £48.00 and sold like hot pies. We ran this relatively old acetate sound print on the Elmo Xenon and it went through flawlessly after so many screening over the years.

Here is the opening logo yay!

OOOOOOH!

I remember those title cards! I had a print, many years ago of "Hoppity Goes to Town", the Derann release from the 70's, on fuhi stock, (sadly faded).

....however, it had a shot of London, (I believe) and the Derann/DFS titles fade in! I thought it was REEL classy, in that they would make very extravagant titles for a super 8 release. No one else went through that much to make a super 8 print!

Only question that remains: Did Vidar know he was shooting Goldblum? Tell us if it was an accident, Vidar.

No accident ... I knew he was the crook. Easy to recognize that man :-)

Death Wish also features Denzel Washington you know? Uncredited thug in alley or something like that

Yes! It was Jeff Goldblum. He appeared briefly in the film as a thug.

Boy, did Vidar have a weekend of fun or what?!

Do this a couple of times a month. Have 2-4 people coming just about every time. Yesterday we were 6, including me. Small place, so it was full, could have made place for one more :-)

Next time, I think we do Star Wars feature

Dino where are you??? Vidar I give up! It took for ever to roll through your pictures. I still think you are over doing it. Its like the saying is few is better then over eating etc. I got blinded by your pictures and cannot really appreciate them.

Don't stop just tone it down don't be an extremist. I love the pictures just condense them if you know what I mean . Look at my HARRYHAUSEN MOVIE pics I have many on one picture that is easy to look at all at once. Just follow me or Dino or Oemer, Janise, etc. Like this

Tonight i decided to view my 400ft extract of The Fifth Element, ive never been to sure about this item, i bought it a while ago purely as an addition to my Scope collection. This is mainly an extract with no titles just the Columbia opening then straight into the movie, This extract opens with a "contained" humoind known as "Leeloo" (Milla Jovovich). Terrified of her unfamiliar surroundings, she breaks out & escapes confinement and jumps off a ledge to land in the flying taxicab of Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), a former major in the Special Forces. its pretty much action all the way).
The chase is on as the Police try and capture Leeloo, As they take off so begins the pursuite & with good use of the scope screen, this extract finishes as abruptly as it started but it certainly has great quality ,(if slightly dark), excellent colour and good stereo sound, this item is approx 15 minutes long, around 330ft, No end title at all [Mad]

, i suspect one or more further releases were going to be attempted by Derann, It's such a pity as one more 400 footer would have made this a good long cut down & would have made a more coherent story.
As it stands this item can only be taken as nothing more than an extract and if like me, you have never actually watched the feature film you can only guess at the rest. I would definatly recommend this as an excellent support programm to any Sci-fi feature you were going to show. So far as i can make out this reel seems to be quite rare these days.

Very nice screenshots Vidar.

[Frown]

Episode 1 is still missing in my collection.
Maybe I get it one day.
I hope I find the time for screening of Episode 3 (35mm) this weekend.
By the way, Episode 3 was released as a full feature, but unfortunately the sale was very bad and I think this is the reason that nobody want release Episode 2 on Super 8.
Hey, if we can find 20 orders, I would borrow my print to the lab for a release. But not for a diggist, because I don´t want cut my print.
