Yes Graham, "The Russians..." print is P&S and at times they didn't do a very good job of panning. The color is also very faded. I use a filter to reduce the red. It's still fun to watch and brings back a lot of memories for me of fun times when I worked in the movie theater. I do have a nice digital version of the movie that is letter-boxed.

Marathon Man 3 x 400ft Marketing, the first 2 reels are pinkish/red and full reels, the 3rd reel appears about 2 3rds full, but is all there and the colour is as good as when I got the film many years ago.Maybe the last reel is polyester stock, it would account for the reel not being so full and the colour being very good.Do you think Marketing mixed film stocks with-in mini features?...

Certainly looks that way Steve, Quite annoying really, i also have Marathon Man and it is such a good film, mine has OK colour on part one, good on pt 2 and part three is much softer definition, in fact looking at it now i should have sent it back at the time of purchase as 1 and 2 are pin sharp, 3 really is soft.Pity as it is a very good cut down.

Mine has ok colour also, certainly not completely red by any means.
It is a great great cut down. One of my favourites from Marketing that's for sure.
Laurence Olivier is superb in it.

I think so Tom. I must admit it is a while since I have watched any of my Marketing Prints so I must get around to giving it another viewing.

It is on one 800ft spool and I don't recall having to adjust the focus in between parts but I will report back once I have had Chance to view it again.

All major screening is on hold at the moment due to the dreaded "D" word! ...Decorating..Arghhhh. [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Yes it is Steve. I think most of the Marketing mini features are on very thin stock as they all seem to easily fit onto 800ft reels.

Just a pity none that I know of made it on lpp though I have heard some of the very latest made it onto low fade.

None that I have did though unfortunately.

Thanks Andrew, when I see some 800ft reels for sale on E-bay I will put my 'Marathon Man' on one reel...by the way my print is masked, but right at the very end after he throws the gun, it goes into full frame...

Yes Steve, mine is the same.

Let me know if you are unable to find any 800ft spools and boxes.

They are becoming rarer on e bay UK these days.
If you have no luck after a while, I can dig you one or two out if you like. [Smile]

Laurel et Hardy en croisière, a Film Office release mounted on a 360 m/1200ft reel. The sound is of course in French.

Thank-you Andrew, there are a couple of rough looking metal reels on E-bay, but they have been there for months now, so they cannot be much good as they would be snapped up. I've seen a couple of home-made reels taken from nab tape reels...

A rarity in Super 8,Buster Keaton's Mexican feature, EL MODERNO BARBA AZUL,in Spanish, which I paid for dearly. Very good picture and sound but with about fifty (!),(well done,I must say), splices in the first two reels, something the seller neglected to mention! I have kept it,because of its rarity and because I am great Keaton fan and I have never thought it existed for the home Market,except for three silent std 8 one reel excerpts from Hefa (PAN DANS LA LUNE etc)

An Italian film (mounted on a 360m/1200ft reel) : Il coraggio with Toto. The sound is in Italian.

Also a few weeks ago, saw this, which I would love to know the title of. It's something like 3 Fantastic Supermen, but it's a series and I would like to know the exact title (assume it's italian)

A couple of days ago I viewed some Regular 8's and a few Super 8

Starting with the Regular 8's
Bear Trouble, 200' silent
-

Godzilla vs. The Thing, 200' silent and barely B&W
-

Hollywood and Bust, 200' sound
-

Someones home movie of Mexico trip, 400' silent
-

Rails into Laramie, 200' sound
-

Rio Grande, 5x400' sound and two pictures of a 50' Varan, The Unbelievable, silent
-

Super 8 ... Trying to compare which prints to keep
Blitz on Britain (3 different reel 1's) ... Each has it's downsides. One is not playing too well in the GS-1200, but it's the brightest of them. One is very dark and can't even read the opening title. Last ones misses the End of Part 1 and is not fading at the same time as the others
-

Clown of the Jungle, 200' sound ... The stripey one is slightly better in colour (maybe)

Interesting Vidar about the silent scope films and bit of a rarity I'm guessing.
