I loved "The Champ" when I had it new in 1979. I would like another print someday but only if the colours remain good. The print I saw recently on e bay only had so so colour. I doubt one exists now that has perfect colour unfortunately.

Its a pity MGM didn't do what Universal films did and release a couple of 2x400ft reels. This is one of them films that would definitely benefit from a longer version than the 17 minutes they gave it.

Looking for The Medusa Touch myself.Only watched it once when video tape was rented. Doesn't seem to get shown much.

Was featured in the old Film Making magazine about the making of it in the Chatheral.

Sunday night,DAREDEVIL (1972) An independent production starring an aging paunchy George Montgomery as a washed out racing car driver in the South, who is forced to work for the drug traffic.Exciting and fast paced. Italian print but,with the original english soundtrack and only the credits in italian.

Monday night,THE INSPECTOR GENERAL, one of the best Danny Kaye films,a musical,comical version of the Gogol story. Print (Red Fox?) turning pink but I don't mind,it's a laugh fest. Preceded by two trailers THE THREE MUSKETEERS and IVANHOE ,the promo for JESUS CHRIST,SUPERSTAR and a Tex Avery cartoon ( THE CUCCOO CLOCK.

Thanks, it was quite enjoyable. I do not know where it's from, bought from this forum. Seller didn't know either. How can I know? Anywhere it's written?

Take care

Just love that African queen print Vidar, what a beauty that is. Surely that's a Derann print,or Kempski?. You certainly get some very good pictures of your prints, I'm still trying to get the colour right on mine so I can do some revues, they just look washed out on mine, I've tried every setting on my camera, I think I'm back to where I started LOL.

Paul,I find the simplest and often most successful way of obtaining half decent screen shots even with an average camera is to take footage of the film running on the cameras video mode, then take your snap shots from a program such as VLC where you can freeze any frame you prefer. I think it works rather well:

Andrew thanks mate i'll try that, my picture look sharp, but the colour is just not right. Vidar's pictures here of the African queen are just great, colour looks balanced and very sharp, your upload looks just right, that's how I would perceive a cartoon to look. I'll have go over next few days and see if I can get this right.

I had a super 8 Saturday night evening. I started with Partly Cloudy and The Dave Clark Five (from CHC). Then Captain America (spliced on one reel) and finally Crossfire/Feux croisés (in French, the Film Office version).

Last night my ST-1200HD went on the injured list (fried lamp socket...). While I work out what I want to do about it I called an old friend back to active duty.

My Bolex SP-80 Special (undercover Eumig 800 series) has been sidelined a couple of years because I built a hookup to my stereo and it took a while to get it to work well with anything but an Elmo ST. I finally worked that out around the beginning of this year.

So I brought out the "Bolex", cleaned the gate, cleaned the lens, cleaned the head and connected it into my mixer with the cable I made for it.

It and my ST-800 each did two reels of my Blackhawk "Sons of the Desert" and everything looked and sounded fine!

Running two machines that are so different together is a little confusing, but I did it for years before I got the ST-1200HD.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

"Many adventures...." is holding up fairly well there Vidar.

I shall put some of "Blustery Day" on here soon. Fabulous rare late Derann print.

Jetsons also looking good for colour there Vidar as also are my "Flintstones" 400 footers.

Here's the rest I've seen the last few days
Look at Life: Draw the Fires, 200'

Kentucky Fried Movie, 400'

And a very sick film, Cry Uncle on 2x1200', though I think it was on two extremely full 800' reels, but I hate it when the film slips over the edge of the reel, so I used 1200's

This is almost half porn and to think it came from director John G. Avildsen of Karate Kid fame, that's a loooong stretch apart :-)

Look At Life and Pathe Pictorials are quite good to watch. Thanks to all the companies that released them over the years. Through them we get a potted history of the UK and world. Must get films up and running soon. I do keep buying them.

Hey Vidar, do you happen to know who did the print of "African Queen". Mine has the same level of color, but I think that yours is a good deal sharper than mine.

We watched "Firefox" a super 8 optical feature. Interesting in that a little of the film had a slightly bad negative to start with, but gorgeous color on the second half. It makes me think that it could even be Agfa stock for the second half, but probably more likely LPP.
