Think "Viva Las Vegas" was one of the last 3x400ft released by Ken Films. Derann proberly printed this title and not too sure if "The Time Machine" was out at the same time.

I love the smell of film in the morning.

Tonight I got to watch a feature with my lovely wife. The print was an uber rare standard 8 kodascope original print of The Beloved Vagabond (7 x 200ft, 1923) starring Carlyle Blackwell of The Wrecker (1929) fame. Supposedly the only other print of this in existence is at the BFI. Sadly though it is only a so-so movie and is plagued by the type of melodrama that often gives the British silents a bad name. The pics were taken filling a 6 foot screen using my Eumig 824.

Tonight among others films we put on our 400ft cut down of Sam Peckinpahs excellent Cross of Iron from Iver Films.
Some years ago we pre ordred the 3 x 400ft mini feature of this title but unfortunatly Iver film went into liquidation and our money was refunded to us by the administrator. It was so dissapointing at the time.
A few years later this cut down appeared on a list a "C" condition with some scratching, normally we would pass this by but it was hard to come even back then so we snapped it up and very pleased that we did, its packed full of action and colour has held up quite well although the early signs of fade are there mainly in the dark bunker scenes. Day scenes are fine.
The action is so intense the lines are hardly a problem at all.

Cross of Iron is a good film. Have the Blu-Ray only, sadly :-)

Today I watched through my new Tom & Jerry Cat Napping. Was a bit scared by the look of the cover, which is awful. The film was actually the same as shown on BFCC's 62nd show and it's quite a nice one after all. At below 5 pounds, it's okay with the small stripe and the couple of clicks in the sound

Just watched the full feature of G.I. Blues. Yes its slightly faded being a Viacom print imported from America but boy did that man have charisma!! The film, the songs, the charm of the entire film given the era it was made in is just FANTASTIC! One of my favourites, as are most of the musicals I have as well as my treasured Disney collection. I guess we are all big kids at heart!

3 x 400' of "Cross of Iron" is easy to get from Ebay.de. It is of course in German titled "Steiner". Since this title appears very often, the price is cheap. Normally will go between EUR 10 - 18.

The sequel al so on 3 x 400' and available form Marketing Films (Germany).

I have both and can enjoy them since this is more action film where dialog is not so important.

Exceptional color, it must be on low fade stock!

This cartoon was mostly a remake of Friz Freleng's own Bug's Bunny cartoon with Sam as the Knight.

That first year or so of the Pink Panthers was the best.

Prehistoric Pink was also a favorite of mine, a lot of creatures being the living hell out of each other over a bone.

I just ran the 400' "ALIEN" as well! One of my favorites. Great minds think alike. [Smile]

-

I also watched my two favorite digests of all time (no surprise to those who know me), "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Logan's Run". I love "Poseidon" but with everything that's missing between the explosion in the air shaft and the arrival in Shaft Alley, the end always feels rushed. "Logan's Run", like most MGM digests, is very well edited. I wonder why neither were released as a 3x400. The 3x400 "Towering Inferno" is great. If Beta and VHS had debuted just a few years later, there could have been some really wonderful S8 digests from Ken, MGM, Warner, etc. Thank Goodness for Derann. Digests could have disappeared altogether.

Lost count how many time I have shown this to youth groups over the years but still as popular as ever.

A long throw at this hall but the newly fitted 2 blade shutter in the Elmo was a great help. [Cool]

Vidar that was a lot of movie watching...well done!

I only watched 2 x 200ft D.W. Griffith shorts tonight both Blackhawk standard 8 prints, and both a little soft quality wise. The Light that Came (1909)which features one of the few Mary Pickford portrayals where you are not on her side. This was followed by The Two Paths (1911)which is one of the most unique Griffiths in that it is almost totally devoid of reality in its storytelling. The whole movie plays like an abstract dream and really shows the growth that Griffith and Bitzer had made in just 2 short years.
