Brian, i do miss that 3 x 400ft version, we did sell ours along with the Ice station Zebra & also the 400ft Coma due to the red colour shift. Westworld was one of the best cut downs from MGM, such a pity they put there films on trashy stock, when they were new the quality was very good, especially the sound. [Wink]

This week, I spread my film show over two nights as it was a full feature I was watching.

7x 400' Yankee Doodle Dandy starring James Cagney. A great film, and a good quality print which, sadly, is a black and white film that has been printed onto colour stock.

Have spent the past few years off the forums since it got overwhelming with people bickering and so many splintered forums it got too hard to keep up, but tonight I just remembered I really enjoyed hearing about everyone's film activities so tonight I watched a few shorts. The Headless Horseman (1934) UB Iwerks cartoon on a beautiful lowfade 16mm Blackhawk print. Ireno (1932) musical short with Ethel Merman on an NTA TV 16mm print, and a very professional looking 9.5mm amateur travel short called Rogue's Roost that has some footage from the 1937 Dartmoor Pony show...

Thanks Janice and Panayotis! [Smile]

Continuing tonight I watched La Petite Chocolatiere (1927, Pathe 4058, 4059, 4060, 15 x 60ft . my print picked up at Argentueil a few years back is on 2 x 800ft reels and has beautiful homemade running titles instead of notched ones - check out the main title in my pic) starring Dolly Davis and Andre Roanne..A sweet (pun intended) rom-com featuring Roanne (who often starred alongside Raquel Miller in 9.5mm films) as the romantic interest of the lovely and now sadly forgotten Dolly Davis..Basically Roanne's friend plays matchmaker and tricks him away from marrying his boss's daughter into marrying the daughter of the chocolate magnate (Davis). Davis was a nice little comedienne and this films' simple entertainment rests almost solely on that fact.

Nice screen caps Dino. I know very little about the 9.5mm format possibly because I have had no personal experience with it but looking at the screen capture the images look very detailed. I see some film grain in your pictures, very nice focus. Looks like a lovely format.

I watched the Universal 8 400ft "The incredible shrinking man" last night. Incredibly, this was the first time I had watched it but the 400ft did a great job of condensing the story down to 20 minutes.

Hello Osi, and yes Alan, 9.5mm prints almost always have exceptionally good quality as Pathe would use their original negatives, and brokered deals with other companies..I have hundreds of prints and maybe only 2 or 3 of them are dupey looking...Plus the actual image area is deceiving compared to 16mm and 8mm since the silent 9.5mm prints use the whole width of the film since the sprockets are center perf, so 16mm is more like 11mm and 8mm like 5mm, but 9.5mm is 9.5mm, so its much closer to 16 than 8.

Some Regular 8 shorts tonight of varying quality...First was Sweedie Learns to Swim (1914) a Blackhawk print that has sadly seen better days as it now suffers from the bad processing brown spots. Next was a Universal Hoot Gibson short The Man With The Punch (1920, Nick Fiorintino 400ft print) followed by a French Arthur Lake print that I am not sure what the original title is. Grant Police Reporter episode 11 A Mission of State (1916, Perry's Movies 200ft print), and finally another Hoot Gibson short Fight It Out (1920, Parkchester 400ft print)

Nice to see you back, indeed, Dino. Just watched La chienne, a classical early French talky (I never saw that at the singular form so I hope it's correct to call a sound film like that).

Nice to see your screen shots Dino, you really have quite a collection! Mark, I have a trailer for Kentucky Fried Movie but is that a digest you have? I didn't know there was one if so.

I watched, amongst other things, a Hammer trailer reel, comprising VAMPIRE CIRCUS (still looking for the feature), REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. The last two were released by CHC, with an ABC day set in front; the first was a new purchase from Derann; REVENGE OF F was a second hand buy, with beautiful rich colour. The sound is about a second out of sync though, which actually increases its entertainment value! Any idea who released this trailer? It’s preceded by a black and white ‘and’ which makes me think it was originally part of a larger reel of trailers.

Tonight's viewing in the "Man Cave" consisted of a 4x 400' black and white cut down of a film called "Magic Town" which is basically about an American town that has been chosen as the most mathematically and aesthetically pleasing town in the US to live.....so everyone flocks there, only to find it is not what it is cracked up to be.... so they all leave.
I have to say, this is the worst film I have ever seen James Stewart take part in.
Also the 1x 400' so called "colour" film of Dr.Cyclops,the prints of which, apparently, have all turned into a muddy brown sepia colour, just like this one has. Pity, because it is not a bad cut down and the picture is very steady on screen.

Dino ...

Would you happen to have on 9.5MM the 1935 version of "Scrooge"?

If it's taken from original source materials, I bet that it would look absolutely great. This is a film that desperately needs a restoration effort, to be sure. [Smile]

I was "home alone" tonight ( honestly,wife,I was!) so out came the projector and screen again.

Tonight's offering to myself was....

1x 400' "Flicker Flashbacks #6" - this compilation of old silents with musical soundtrack featured "Mr.Fixit" with Charles Murray, and "The Height of Madness" with Harold Lloyd, which is the one where he is hanging off the side of a building. Brilliant stuff.

2x 400' "The Electric Horseman" starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. This is one I have had in my collection for a year or two and it was its first outing for me. Am pleased to say I was very impressed. A very good edit.Flowed very well.

2x 400' "Little Miss Marker" starring Walter Matthau and Julie Andrews. Its first outing for me,too, but was much less impressive.
