Revenge Of Frankenstein / Super 8 / Color Sound (German)

Watched this great score from Ebay Germany.
I've had the 8mm Columbia silent BW version for many years now so the lure of a color sound version was strong.
Suprisingly the color has held up well so that was nice. The sound is indeed German but the English subtitles are still there. Dubbing is atrocious - for instance, when Karl kills the inkeeper you can still hear him saying "please stop" long after he's already dead. I think an English re-record is in order.
All in all a cool find from "Veritone - France" Anybody heard of this label?

Cheers
Terry

What a nice find! I'm betting the color is Agfa or some better form of non LPP Eastman. Probably not Fuji.

Terry, I couldn't find any information about "Veritone". It is not usual to find English subtitles of an Englsh speaking film released by a French company, anyway.Are you sure the film was originally a sound one ? It could be a mute version on which someone has added a soundtrack, but then the film would have been subtitled in French. Is the box the original one ?

Dominique, You could be correct maybe it was sound striped. No way to really tell (there is no balance stripe)
The artwork is original and it is in one of those plastic hinged cases popular with many German releases.

here is a complete scan of the cover (You can see where it says Veritone)

A marking on the leader. Guess that's the catalog number.

Did Veritone release the super 8 tourist release films you used to see in Paris before video came on the scene. Their releases were in Colour Silent which you could get striped or in colour sound and from memory French English German and Italian versions were available. For some reason I seem to remember there were subtitle versions as well.

Revenge of Frankenstein was also released by Derann full feature
and I think their source might have been German.

The attached link to a super 8 company in France have silmilar packaged movies smaller sizes on their sales page.

With the ongoing resurgence of interest in Will Hay we have been watching a number of his features including Oh Mr Porter and shortly Convict 99 on super 8, all bringing many chuckles. [Smile]

Curled up on the couch tonight with a cup of hot tea and The Goodbye Girl (1977). A very pleasant Saturday night [Smile]

Another novelty screening and really enjoyable.

Projected my hand tinted (Yellow/Orange) 8mm opening sequence of 'Day the earth caught fire' then switched to the BFI bloo ray B&W film finally going back to the 8mm tinted end sequence of the film on the trusty Eumig.

I finally got to reel 6 of "When the North Wind Blows" last night on the reel per night plan. It's kind of sad: this Viacom print was never the color it should have been the 10 years I've had it, but the forces of The Red Army are definitely occupying now! [Wink]

-one of those prints to enjoy without an audience.

Two cartoons : Broken Toys and Hollywood Party (one of the cartoons in which you can see movie stars), a song : Can't Stand Loosing You and an optical print in French : Cameo.

Last night: Laurel and Hardy Blockheads (Blackhawk 3x400)

Not Blackhawk's best (a little soft in focus here and there) but a good story.

I like short features like this: it's a lot easier to squeeze it into a single show than a 5x400 or 6x400 film.

Lovely evening watching 1200ft of super 8 we have filmed over the last year or so including using three cameras. This is using Agfa 200D stock just out of interest.
Wonder who this young chap might be?

This is the actual Super 8 film..

Thank you Andrew. Yes I find the Agfa 200D film really versatile in various lighting situations. Was interesting viewing my results en mass all filmed at 18fps and I'm now ready to start the editing of course as well. That particular shot shown was filmed with a Beaulieu 5008S hence the image quality, but I also use the Nizo 6080 which I love and its so versatile.
Nothing quite like Super 8 filming..

Young Simon will remember the filming of him holding his latest purchases.

A couple of "odd reels". Reel 1 of Derann's Aladdin, very good colour but neg dust on last few seconds - reason for low price. Plus their Aliens reel 4 marked as "test print" - reversed image and faulty balance stripe giving distorted sound on a mono output twin track projector - good picture on 4ft high screen even with print masked to wide-screen.

La Grande époque (The Golden Age Of Comedy). The French version has an introduction made by the famous filmaker René Clair, who comments all the film long. A good film for all those who like the silent era.

Yesterday night : Hollywood On Parade (with Maurice Chevalier singing Louise), Beatles Come To Town, Cinema Cinema (a "fast moving reel which contains many film clips accompanied by the song "This Is The World Of Cinema", I couldn't have described it better that that sentence from the box), Bataille avec les requins (Battle With The Sharks, a Cousteau film), Chasse à l'arc dans la Savane (a documentary about hunting), Free Fall Parachuting, Sue My Lawyer (a sound short with Harry Langdon) and Mein Kampf, the French version, mounted on a 1200 ft/360 mt reel, introduced by the famous French journalist Léon Zitrone).

The Universal 2x400ft of Slap Shot (bought I believe from Portland Films, Shaftesbury Avenue) I can't find an edge name for the stock but surprisingly good colour still. A few shots are light but I remember them that way from new. Also 2 about 100ft episodes of "The Wombles", original Bernard Cribbins narrated ones, on 4S which have beautiful colour, but the master material looks a little scratched in places - no tramlines but a few horizontal lines which I have never seen on a damaged 8nn print only 16 or 35mm ones.
