Luis,
you're wrong, many of the Marketing F/L prints were sold outside the U.S.A. and Canada, I bought many years ago Barbarella F/L and The Longest Yard (The Mean Machine).
Pat, you're right about the 2x400' (600') of Gold, but it was also advertised in the U.K. as having a F/L print, and supposedly in Scope too!
I wonder if they did ever appear, of course it could be master material, but I've had both Gold & True Grit digests many times, and the master used for those were excellent, so it is a head scratcher, they were definatley advertised as available, but has anyone got a print?

From what I remember, however, Marketing Films, for some odd reason, printed the 3X400ft digests of True Grit" ect. on good film stock that still looks great today, but the full length prints tended to be on fadey Eastman.
War of the Worlds is a print like that which, while the 3X400ft prints look absolutely stellar (as a general rule), the full feature is Eastman fadey!
