Sorry, Osi, no idea. I do not know where to check and seller didn't know either. But it was an enjoyable film :-)

Hi all,

Yesterday I got around to watching 2 prints from Ian at Perry's - feature prints of "I married a woman" - B/W scope - starring George Gobel and Diana Dors - although definitely a "B" feature - I thought it was surprisingly good - with some laugh out moments - and George Gobel, who I'd never seen before was really funny as was Diana Dors. Then I watched John Wayne in "Sands of Iwo Jima" - again a film I'd never seen before - but thoroughly enjoyed - good performances and scenes of actual battle footage gave this film a more authentic feel - all in all a good afternoon of screening - by the way - John Wayne has a small cameo role in "I married a woman".

Had a bit of a cut down frenzy last night, all 400 footers and Walton releases, The Medusa Touch, When Eight Bells Toll(scope), The Boys From Brazil, The Man in the Iron Mask and Escape from Athena (scope) and all still excellent colour, Mark.

Just had a whirlwind tour of my Super 8 collection through my slightly improved setup- I realized a new section of wall to clear. xD
'Cinderella's Fairy Godmother' 50ft extract Black and white, 'The Dapper Dalmatian' 200ft color extract,
'Ghidrah, The Three Headed Monster', 200ft silent digest

Had a blast, and the best part of my current improvisation is the ability to watch from bed. [Big Grin]

Picture is a little error in the Ghidrah subs I find humorous.

Yes, the subs tag Godzilla as Ghidrah. Someone was asleep at the wheel.

Nice print of Jungle Book Zech. Great colour in that print, hope it's the feature you got there but those except's remind me of the 3 x 200ft WDHM & rare techno short that I have, all spliced together in the correct order.

The full feature from Derann is a superb print, one which there are both Stereo and Mono prints depending on what you requested at the time.

Thanks Andrew. I was fortunate enough to get the complete feature [Smile]

It does have really nice color. This is one of my most prized films in my collection (especially by my 4 year old daughter).

We saw these (some I've posted pictures of before, sorry if that annoys anyone)
King Kong, 6x400' sound and I've included the opening, as someone asked about that last time. Weird though that the different banners are so different in quality. Second picture is sooo dark

Good Day for a Hanging, 400' and red, but still got some blues in the sky

Scooby Doo: The Backstage Rage, 200' and with swedish dub. Sorry, must have touched the focus ring again :-/

The Bible, 400' and quite washed in colour

Tom & Jerry: The Flying Cat (I believe it is), 200' Film Office version

W.C. Fields: Much Ado About Golf, 200' sound

Ran my first feature tonight- 'College' starring Buster Keaton. One of three I grabbed on eBay at roughly $20 a pop.

Print looks nice if a bit more fuzzy than it probably is since I don't have the luxury of a screen.

I've just watched Fritz Lang's Der müde Tod (in English "Destiny" but it seems that it was released in the US Under several other titles like Between Two Worlds or Beyond the Wall). The film was on a large spool and I could Watch it without a break.

I've just watched two trailers and a documentary, the three films have an English sound. The two trailers are in scope the first one is : Under The Rainbow ( turning pink but still watchable) and A Star Is Born (colours were ok). I like to Watch super 8 scope films for the technical side but the size of the picture is smaller on my screen. The documentary was The Cinderella Story (behind the scenes of the film with Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven). I haven't seen the fetaure but would like to see it after having watched the documentary. The film is turning pink but not equally to all scènes (the "outdoor daylight" scenes are in general better preserved, I don't know why). The Cinderella Story is about 240 meters (800 ft) and was edited by Iver Film Services, a British company I don't know.

Last night we watched The Magic Box, the superb film about British cinema pioneer William Friese-Greene, played by Robert Donat. Made for the 1951 Festival of Britain it has just about every star of British cinema at that time appearing in cameo roles, the most famous being Lawrence Olivier as the policeman who witnesses moving pictures for the first time.
The Derann feature print is really superb with great saturated color.

Paul, I have Derann's The Magic Box, as well. A smashing print.I watched some trailers including War of the Worlds and Samson and Delilah which I spliced together with ABC Cinemas intro and some ads I just got from Jason.

Three Walton Films Tom & Jerry's with the Pepsi adverts spliced between them, bought second hand from a camera warehouse on a 600ft spool for £6 many years ago (must have been a trade-in). "The Truce Hurts", "Tennis Chumps" and "Cruise Cat" colour still very good and all with some balance stripe.

Also the 600ft PM Films print of Assault on Precinct 13 I mentioned in another thread , Blacks a little reddish but the red titles are very vivid still, I don't think it has got worse in the last 10-15 years, bought from Perry's Movies for £42.95 - I left the label on the box.

Sorry to hear about you're flu (we've had it on and off for the last five months as well), but what better way to pass the time than with a film screening! Great pics as always, Vidar!

I would agree Osi, but my form has been so low that I just didn't manage to get myself up to view the films. Been a lot of TV series lately :-/

Hopeful that I am done now, since it started at little before Christmas with a total of three, one after the other, flu's. One was so bad, the last one, which really felt like my last one. Could not walk straight, needed something to hold myself steady. Dizzy as hell and couching up lungs. Not fun. Hope now that it's over and I can see more films again. Did another viewing today with three friends and it went okay. Pics in 16mm forum

Thanks Osi
