I have one super 8 Look at Life from Derann ,called 'City of Sailors'. All about Portsmouth and the print quality is superb, like looking at 35mm.

Mal and Maurice Thanks for your help I have been collecting them for a few years and usually include one in a film show straight after the first cartoon. "Holiday Camp" is one that has been shown a lot over the years mainly when we put on a film show where we have a visit from a retirement home as many of the residents came out from England and that particular film seems to be of real interest.
Its only now that I am trying to find out a bit more about "Look at Life" films, even though they are almost 40 years old they are still of interest.
One of the first I bought new was "Village Of Violins" others are The Spirit Of Brooklands The Last Battleship Controlled Landing On Top Of The World Shopping For A Queen The Eagles Nest
Some of those titles are still available new from Derann and I noticed in there latest used list just after I had posted on the forum a copy of "Holiday Camp" its very good so if interested snap it up.
If anyone has further information on L/L it would be appreciated
