Winbert, the first 20 min. of "The African Queen" takes place at the mission with Katherine Hepburn and Robert Morley. Bogart visits and leaves. Then the village is burned by the German soldiers. Bogart comes back and he and Hepburn spend the rest of the picture on the boat until it sinks in the storm. Then they are captured, there is the big explosion and then it's over. An excellent film and well worth seeing in it's entirety.

Now, for your enjoyment, I have just uploaded a new film.

With Halloween approaching, I have decided to post a horror classic. Brian De Palma's "Carrie" from 1976. As it is rated R, the link to this will only be found here. Please note: There are some graphic scenes, adult language and nudity in this film. Viewer discretion is advised.

As discussed in another thread, there are two different reels for "Carrie". In this version, Mrs. White, played by Piper Laurie, is mentioned but never seen.

Again, in spirit of Halloween, here is the digest of a haunted house/possessed daddy/terrorized family pic from 1979. And no, it wasn't directed by Stanley Kubrick.

"The Amityville Horror"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC3rZVYcArs

Nominated for an Academy Award for it's creepy score by Lalo Schifrin. This guilty pleasure was unnecessarily remade in 2005.

Enjoy!

This is a new film I have already posted. I have uploaded the 400' Part 1, the 400' Part 2 and the complete chronological version of all the "Star Wars" digests to YouTube. Here is the original 200'.

Enjoyed watching that CARRIE digest--as usual, some very strange editing choices made. Fascinating stuff.

Here is a short b&w silent z-grade film from 1958. "War of the Colossal Beast". The final scene does not have the color finale of the theatrical release. I have added music from several classic Sci-Fi films of the 1950's.

This is a re-post of a film I put up a while back. "Logan's Run" is one of my big guilty pleasures. I just got this today. I now have four copies on super 8mm. This one is the best yet. Slightly faded but, compared to the others, it still has color. The sound is very good. There is some dirt but no lines. No splices. No VS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsZ_hKhm--I

I am still on the search for a pristine copy. Until I find it, I will enjoy this. Or, I can also watch my VHS, my laserdisc, my DVD or my Blu Ray.

I'm also searching for a better copy of my biggest guilty pleasure of all time, "The Poseidon Adventure". I have three and they all have problems. This is the best of the lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVm1dIrRXMM

This used library copy (my first from 25 years ago) does have a few splices and is a bit beat up but is the least faded. Best of all, no narration. The other two are narrated and are pretty faded. Oh, well. Someday.

I also love LR. I have the digest and a full length copy on VHS that I've worn to death. Just watched the "Carrie" digest you uploaded and I was disappointed not to see the final scene where the hand comes out of the grave. O'h well....Often is the case with digests, though. Great scenes are often discarded for time. Do you have any of the B&W U-8 digests?

Brad, Derann released 'Carrie' as a 2 x 400ft version. Warners would not allow the parts to run consecutively, so careful re-editing was required to make a coherent story.
The scene you mentioned was included in the other part.

Ah, yes. The other 1x400 "Carrie". It's still on my eBay saved search list. It would be great to get and edit it, in order, with mine. Anyone willing to part with it? [Smile]

Brad, always great to find out I'm not the only one who loves "Logan's Run". Most people I talk to think it is sooo cheesy. And I tell them that's WHY it's great. I couldn't get enough of it when I was young. Before I purchased my first copy, I can't tell you how many times my name appeared on the library card stuck inside the box. Unfortunately, when I finally bought it from them, the card had been destroyed. I am so happy to have found a "new" copy. My original was spliced so bad I couldn't even watch it.

As far as U8 film in B&W, the only title I have is the 1x400 of "Psycho"

While I'm searching for the other "Carrie", here is another Brian De Palma film.

The 3x400"Dressed to Kill" from 1980.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxJ9I0oH03A

There are some people here who say that the 1x400 of this film is a poorly edited unwatchable digest. The actual film has a running time of 105 min. This 47 min. version still works story-wise. With all that's going on in this movie and the double ending, I can't imagine the 18 min. digest makes too much sense. I've never seen the 1x400. I probably never will.

I have finally posted "Sweet Charity" from 1969. As I mentioned before,not the greatest U8 edit of a musical. It has one partial song, "Big Spender", and only two complete songs. After "I'm a Brass Band", there is a 4 min. dialog scene. Then "Where Am I Going?" and the finale. Leaving no room for tunes like "If They Could See Me Now" or "Rhythm of Life".

Very interesting to see these. This Mickey Mouse Club reel is a gem. I've only skimmed through some of them so far but I'll be taking a closer look as time permits. Thanks for posting them.
I'm definitely looking at expanding my S8 collection again after all these decades.

William, I'm so glad you like the films. There will be more to come. I hope to get a few Disney 200's up soon. I no longer own any of the animated shorts on film but I did videotape several of them 25 years ago. So, the quality may be not be wonderful but at least they'll have less flicker and won't be faded. [Smile] Till then, you can check this out.

This film needed help. It was very faded. Almost totally red. I posted it on Youtube as a test. I wanted to see what would happen if I ran it through their color filter. Would it be watchable? I think it turned out pretty good. I may go back and do this with some of the other red films I posted.

Here is a somewhat color-corrected 3x400 "Mutiny on the Bounty" from 1962.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ZeXDh_b-o

Wouldn't it be great if there was some kind of amazing chemical or solution that could fully restore faded film? Someday...

BTW, the 1x400 of this film actually has something the 3x400 does not. The 17 min. digest has scenes with and narration by Richard Haydn as William Brown not found in the long version.

Here is the 1x400.

I just got this copy of Ken Films' "The Sound of Music". It was still sealed but, unfortunately, faded. I have posted it on Youtube so it can be compared the European digest. They are not the same edit.

Here is the U.S. version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPMmeD7h4TU

Here is the British version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7W_W0Yq2RE&feature=related

Note the differences.

Chris,

Ken Films redid their first edit to include more songs, so there are two different versions out there.

Is there a British cutdown of The Sound of Music? Who released it?

I think there's room for just one more film.....

Doug, I did not mean to confuse. They are both from Ken. The only reason I guess I said British because that is where my first copy came from.

Take a look at the box on my auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120799889795&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I was just assuming that the other edit was the non-U.S. release.

So, they re-edited it for extra music? I thought the differences were in the dialog scenes.

The changes were discussed here.

http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=003917#000000

I have to agree with Carter from the other post. Why was the telegram scene with Rolf even there? I can say the version without that scene has much better song editing. You can really notice it in the "My Favorite Things"/"Do-Re-Mi" montage.

Did Ken Films re-edit and re-release other digests of R&H musicals like "Carousel" or "The King & I"?

A Raquel Welch double feature! Well, sort of...

"One Million Years B.C." from 1966

http://youtu.be/qAxgx1jvE4A

"The Three Musketeers" from 1973

http://youtu.be/c1T3Hs0Wsf0

She is prominently featured in the first film but is barely seen in the other.

In fact, here are a few more blink-and-you'll-miss-them actors in the Ken digest of "Musketeers". Charlton Heston, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee and the always funny Roy Kinnear.

Here is a digest of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film from 1959. "North by Northwest". It is another excellent example of how good the editors at MGM were. The story is well told in just 17 min.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mJRwwbfmDo

One on my favorites.

Thank you Pat!

That "Sound of Music" digest hasn't fared well, from what I understand. It's hard to find a copy that is unfaded, even for the great Meltzer, if I'm not mistaken.

... however, I hear that the DErann 2X600ft digest (or was it 3X600ft?) is supposed to be an excellent cut down of the feature.

Here is a biopic from 1971. "Evel Knievel" as played by George Hamilton. It was still sealed when I got it but, like my most recent "The Sound of Music", it has some fade.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCnrasFrpfw

However, as it was never viewed before this recording, the picture quality is good. According to Wikipedia, "The most common version of the film is from a faded 16 mm print. Scratches on both the audio and video track are easily detectable." I guess that means this 15 min. digest may be the best looking version of this film out there! [Big Grin]

As I mentioned earlier, I am going to post several Disney 200's.

The original posting of "Snow White" has been replaced by a newer recording.

Chris, consult Gian (a member of this forum too) for a better copy of WDHM 200' series as he has almost all now on LPP stock. No fade at all. Some of his screen shots are available in "Last Night Screening" thread.

You can ask him for the clues for print with better stock.

cheers,
